“The goal of education should be to enable people to become active and engaged citizens, questioning and organizing against injustices.”
— Noam Chomsky

Simplified Meaning:
Education should help people learn how to be involved in their communities and stand up against unfair things. For example, if you learn about history and see something wrong happening today, like someone being treated unfairly because of their skin color, you will know why it's wrong and feel motivated to do something about it. Education isn't just about learning facts; it's about understanding how to use that knowledge to make the world better. When people are well-educated, they can recognize problems and work together to solve them, creating a fairer society for everyone. In your own life, this means using what you learn in school to help others and make positive changes in the world around you.
