T.S. Eliot on Modern Education

"As only the Catholic and the communist know, all education must be ultimately religious education. I do not mean that education should be confined to postulants for the priesthood or the higher ranks for the Soviet bureaucracy; I mean that the hierarchy of education should be a religious hierarchy. The universities are too far gone in secularization, they have too long lost any common fundamental assumption as to what education is for, and they are too big."
