![“There's no reason why one need not look at the content of education just as one is expanding the availability of school, because it doesn't cost more money to get them [a] better education. It requires better textbooks, it requires a vision, it requires a determination, but it's not very expensive…” quote by Amartya Sen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/80d/amartya-sen-2518_availability_there-s-no-reason-why-one-need-not-look_875032.jpg)
