Enlighting human mind is the virtue exclusively credited to education and while formal education system has been considered imperative to impart all necessary understanding, it oftentimes lacks the freedom to creativity through its restrictive implications. Thus, formal education has a restrain on freedom of thought more than it is helpful to cultivate mind.

The formal education has been the creation of previous luminaries who worked creatively to create a system that helps maximize the gain of knowledge at optimal efforts.
