Education is a tool for people to acquire knowledge of one's society and the subject matter common to all such as proven scientific theories. But in terms of social sciences and other subjects which can be value-oriented such as ideology, religious faith, standard of right and wrong, cultural practices, etc., common understanding may not come about due to the difference in culture, belief and system of learning. However, admittedly differences will always remain even among people of the same society. Education can elicit a better common understanding once there is common knowledge on certain areas of learning even among people of different societies. Education is thus instrumental in bringing about commonalities while differences are acknowledged and taken with tolerance. There is a possibility of convergence in certain areas of learning most notably in natural sciences. It is therefore an important tool for connectivity. Educational cooperation in the form of joint research projects, scholars exchange, cultural exchange could be instrumental for a close and useful connectivity in the field of knowledge seeking but with significant implications about human relations, and international relations. Scholarships awarded to students to come to study at a particular country will enhance a close relationship between those who studied in that particular country in the academic field as well as human relation and a special feeling toward that country. This type of connectivity, broadly defined as interactions and undertaking common activities, is thus useful for cooperation for development and, for that matter, for peace.
