Answer and Explanation:
In a simple and direct way, we can affirm that education provides knowledge and knowledge is very powerful, as it allows people not to be deceived, to be able to think efficiently and allows them to understand their rights and roles within society. This causes people to reject false ideas that act negatively in their lives and have the necessary knowledge to combat all types of abuse and exploitation to which they are subjected. In other words, education provides power to impotent people, so they are able to combat oppressive systems and incompetent and aggressive leaders.
This was the reason why slaveholders did not allow slaves to have access to education. Frederick Douglass, said that when he was a slave, his master forbade his wife to teach him to read, as this would make him have ideas that would put him against white people and reject his state of slavery, in addition to teaching other blacks to rebel against whites. This shows how knowledge is liberating and only education can do that.
We can also see an example of this in "Animal Farm" where animals with less access to education, horses, were the most exploited and harmed and the lack of education made them completely dependent on highly abusive leaders, who had knowledge to do evil.
