Education should cultivate humility in students. One who is not self-controlled or humble, despite learning many scriptures, histories and religious texts, has not gained true knowledge or good qualities. True education helps one conquer the mind, not make one vain or presumptuous of their knowledge.

Although he is a disciple of the divine sage Vyāsa and has
thoroughly learned many scriptures from him, including the law books of religious duties and the epic histories and Purāṇas, all this study has not produced good qualities in him. Rather, his study of the scriptures is like an actor’s studying his part, for he is not self-controlled or humble and vainly presumes himself a scholarly authority, though he has failed to conquer his own mind. (SB 10.78.25-26)
