III. Literature as a Platform in Education for Sustainable Development

     Literature serves as a Platform in Education for Sustainable Development.
Why platform in Education?Since it introduces customs and traditions then it has a crucial relevance to education.It is through literary works widely used as an educational tool that incorporates us towards knowing and scrutinizing different races. Education takes place at this point, simply because we are now aware and mindful of how they manage to live.
     Development comes after education. how does education lead to development. Some would say that intellect is much needed that education, which is totally a misconception- well,intellect refers to knowledge while education is more of an application of that knowledge. It is through this "application of knowledge" that the quality of life is being brought up. When this happens it is certain that development is relished. Development comes about not just by seeing those tall and well-structured buildings but also by comprising morals and values.
       Sustainability empowers development. Why it is empowering? Development might appear as if it already enough, but it is not. We should think and ponder on ways and means how to sustain this. One thing is discipline, which basically enforces obedience. Control should also be considered, for everything is in restraint. Control is for the standard and caliber of education while discipline is for the attitude towards it. So these are the guiding points that might as well sustain development.
