Responsible individuals, organizations, and governments throughout the world continue to make great efforts to provide the best possible education for each new generation. But in spite of all sincerity and dedicated effort, two facts signal a basic lack of success universally experienced: first, suffering continues in society, and second, dissatisfaction among youth is a common phenomenon almost everywhere. Education everywhere deals with similar classes of knowledge -science, arts, humanities. As long as the same knowledge is taught, the same results must be expected. Innovation in teaching techniques alone will not resolve the universal problems of education.
As Maharishi says, only a new seed will yield a new crop. Some new field of knowledge must be added to education to make it complete. MIU fulfills the need of education by providing a systematic study of intelligence and simultaneously promotes the growth of the knower along with the growth of knowledge. The study of intelligence integrated with the study of every discipline enriches and completes the range of every discipline, structures the home of all knowledge in the awareness of the student, and thus offers the solution to the pressing problems of modern education.
