Therefore, education should best teach one how to live in harmony with nature and creation, education need to embrace the love and appreciation of nature and comprehension of the natural state of things, thus, education should mature one.

Education on its own is progressive, thus the best way to educate a child is to involve the child from infancy, impress and instill the way of life on the child, so that he may know how to go about life. Thus, the education model is to be practical and inclusive of all spheres of life, not limiting them to anything under the umbrella called profession. There is no better teacher of life more than nature itself or rather life itself, life is a silent teacher that needs one to be continuously in-contact with, observe and learn from, hence the model for education needs to be practical.
