(The same question has been asked by another user and I had posted this reply there.)
I feel that education is the solution to all problems faced by society today. Therefore, if there are no restrictions or obstacles of any type, I would like to spread education and improve literacy rates, if not achieve 100% literacy in the nation. The main issues of modern society, including unemployment, poverty, corruption, pollution, violence and even crime can be solved through education.
The root cause of unemployment is lack of opportunities, which can be traced back to lack of education. Simply getting a degree is not sufficient. Good education means developing a well-rounded personality with effective spoken skills and a good practical understanding of theoretical concepts as well. Also, quality education can empower people to work on their own startups or come up with innovations.
With better employment rates, the level of poverty will also decrease. Also, those who find good jobs because of their education, will understand the importance of education and ensure that their future generations also get educated. This will steadily improve the standards of living of a family through the years.
Additionally, education brings in transparency. An educated person knows his rights and also has a fair understanding of what to do in case he/she has been cheated. It makes one aware of the rules and rights. Knowing what to do, coupled with raising the issue in the right forum will bring down corruption rates. The lesser the corruption, the lesser the wastage of precious time and funds and the greater the progress of a nation.
More often than not, violence stems from unemployment, poverty or an uncouth mind. Education solves the first two problems as mentioned above. Quality education also teaches one to think logically, and not in a primitive way. Those with a genuinely sophisticated mind will not indulge in violence. Only those who are primitive in their ways take to violence. So, education might improve the law-and-order situation too, and increase social security for everyone.
Finally, education opens the mind to think beyond the self and the area in which one lives, and makes one aware of global problems like environmental issues. It also helps an individual understand the role he plays and how small steps taken at a personal level can actually make a difference. Explaining concepts like carbon footprint and global warming to illiterates is very challenging. People need to understand the gravity of the situation before taking any preventive steps. Hence, education becomes important even in this scenario.
To conclude, as indicated by the various above-mentioned examples, education is the tool which can fix many contemporary problems. Thus, I would like to focus completely on imparting quality education to both children and adults, to secure a better future for them, for society and also for the nation.
