point out that democracies don’t necessary need that. There are a lot of other
stuff that we need to invite into the education system that’s not there. And is
something that’s a project that we need… we will work on going forward.

I’d like to make a couple of observations. I think your questions and the
comments are extremely important and for someone who’s spent 30 years
involved in the university system teaching people, you obviously have a keen
interest in this question in terms of what is the role of education. In terms of
the point that you made, I oversee Leena is right. It is possible to have a vast
democracy such as India and for its stood to be successful, but maybe that’s
not the question as whether it is an essential prerequisite, but I take your
question to be that it could improve democracy. I think it will turn on the sort
of democracy that one might want including whether the idea of reflective
democracy is a good idea. So, in my part, I don’t see education or higher
education, anyway, as with the desirable objective of nation building because, it
seems to me that, it’s a potential exercise and indoctrination, and certainly in
the UK cultural context, it always used to be considered rather bad form, shall
we say, to be national stakeholder bang on about Britishners. But I do think
that, and indeed, there wasn’t particular sense of being British, so I don’t think
education is needed for nation building. But where I think education can be
absolutely vital and in terms of what one is trying to do in a university is to
promote people to understand the rational arguments, and for them to acquire
evidence in arguments, and also to make them develop a sense of trying to
understand other people’s points of views. I think those qualities are very
valuable and enhancing democracy. Thank you.

Gentlemen your two questions are actually very academic and very
²£ ´£²¢¡¸¡¡Á¥°£°ª²£l²h²£°À¨
researchable. So, left me no more room to get any other questions, sadly
speaking. However, because of the two questions, our panelists were able to
participate and give very fruitful comments, and answers. So, I think that should
be enough for us to learn to understand and might be quite overwhelming for
about an hour and a half or two hours to take all this information. However, I’m
sure that with all this information given, you will be able to advance to the
other level of democracy wherever, in whichever country you’re from.
So, Democracy from International Perspective, Please give your hands to
them. Thank you very much.
