Hey Dear !!
__________
Let us begin with some definitions of education by Swami Vivekananda:
“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man" .........“Real education is that which enables one to stand on his own legs."
Swami Vivekananda laid emphasis on all aspects of education- physical, mental, moral, vocational so that man can face every situation in life. A realisation of the perfection in the man should be the goal of life.
On women education he said- He said, “Make women strong, fearless, and conscious of their chastity and dignity”.
His main emphasis was on physical education, universal education so that everyone irrespective of caste and creed could get knowledge.
He wanted education to be a good combination of our ancient ideals as well as the modern western ideas.
He preferred mother tongue coupled with one more language to connect and create a national bond with other people
He favoured religious education also. He said- “Religion is the innermost core of education. Religion is like the rice and everything else is like the curries. Taking only curries causes indigestion and so is the case with taking rice alone.”
We can say that Swami Vivekananda favours that system of education that may bring out the best in man. Men and women are equally capable to learn and every section of society should get the education. The education should develop a sense of nationalism also.

Answer:
Vivekananda believed education is the manifestation of perfection already in men. He thought it a pity that the existing system of education did not enable a person to stand on his own feet, nor did it teach him self-confidence and self-respect.
