ABSTRACT

Education is considered a basic right and divine privilege individuals are obliged to gain for themselves for the purpose and sole objective to groom themselves and their futures in order to earn a living and make way for progress in their lives accordingly. Education has been identified and labelled a discipline and largely defined as a circumstance and a phenomenon that pertains to hold a transformative impact over thinking patterns, personality and the overall innate and external representation and development of the individual. In addition to the above, education implies a process by which the society intentionally seeps in the accumulated and available knowledge, skills, values and customs onto its generations. This paper encompasses problems that are being faced by young individuals who study and learn in different educational institutions and aims to target key areas, with reference to context of 'Nicholas Nickleby', a novel brought forward by Sir Charles Dickens
