In what context is education important? I believe education is the conerstone of  a strong and prospect economy and a country as a whole. Is the best weapon against poverty and mediocrity.

Education is very important Scott, but that is definately an open ended statement and very much open for discussion.  It is certainly a great start at being the cornerstone of a strong and prospective economy, that is why we as educators must ascertain that our students obtain the best quality education that we can offer them 

Education is important, but hands on skills and practicality is also important.  We stress both of these aspects within our program.
