First, they learn that the world is a huge place which is quite busy and complex. Later, their views' regarding the world widens and deepens as they experience more of life.
By itself, these growing views could make them powerless and alienated because they may see himself/herself as a small child in the face of this newly- understood enormous world. However, as his/her world is widening, education encourages a corresponding growth in their understanding of this world. This is the power of education. It helps him/her understand the more complex world that they experiencing. Without education, he/she would feel powerless.
