Answer: a. Education teaches how to be successful in work and everyday struggles.
Brooker T. Washington placed importance on education because he believed that education is the way in which people learn to function and succeed in society. Therefore, he emphasized the importance of education that allowed people to live in society, such as hygiene. He also praised physical labour and industrial education. Some critics, such as W. E. B. DuBois argued that Washington's vision was unnecessarily narrow, and that it practically accepted the inferiority of the Black race. However, others consider Washington's program practical, and a natural result of the lack of opportunities for Black people at that time.
