In his remarks, Anies also emphasized the urgency of education in shaping the power of reason and character of the younger generation.

“One of the most effective ways to fight a single reason that limits freedom of thought is to develop the ability to think critically. Children need to grow in the learning space that encourages them to ask, not just
accept. “
