Read the passage carefully:
Education, which does not teach us to discriminate between good    or bad,    to assimilate the one and eschew the other, is a    misnomer said    Mahatma Gandhi. The purpose of literacy and education is not only    to make our children literate and merely develop individual skills but to make them appropriate human beings. Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, strongly believed that education means drawing out the best of the body, mind, and spirit in man. He believed in learning by
doing and was of the opinion    that the knowledge through correlation of craft-centred education with academic subjects would encourage self-experience of the    students. The immediate aim of literacy and education should be to make    it a joyous    experience for    all students and teachers where creativity should be the ultimate objective.
In our country,    the population    explosion is a    social problem which    has become an economic problem as well. Illiteracy is one of the major cause of this problem, because in a subsistence-oriented agricultural economy, for poor parents, the economic costs of children are low. The economic benefits of children are high and having many children makes economic sense. In a lower    family  income    level, having an additional child. contributes to    the family's earnings. They are deprived of nutritious food and other    amenities of life; only education can change the attitude of a person    towards family, marriage and    the number of children he should have. Because of it    is seen    that most educated people delay their marriages and prefer to have    small    families.The spread of education and    the expansion    of family    planning programmes    can control the rapidly growing population.
