The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Basically, Du Bios' message invites awareness of the true usefulness of education, which is not found within the productive environment but in service and satisfaction to others. Also, education has to be a process of self-growth where progress is internalized and people can feel the accomplishment of reaching an educational goal.
