Explanation
Education is indeed a key pillar of a civilized society, but the reason wrongly denies that institutions embody values.
The assertion is correct that education is the most important pillar of a civilized and dignified society.
The reason is wrong because educational institutions do represent and cultivate values and ethics.
Value education is in fact a core aim of schools and universities.
The reason thus contradicts rather than explains the assertion.
NEP 2020 stresses the teaching of ethics and human values in education.
