Education isn't something you can finish
Interpretation
Education is a lifelong process that never truly ends.
This quote by Isaac Asimov emphasizes the idea that education is not merely a phase of life confined to school or formal learning. Instead, it is an ongoing journey of growth, discovery, and understanding that continues throughout one's life, as we constantly encounter new ideas, experiences, and challenges that contribute to our personal and intellectual development.
In practice

If every parent understood the huge educational benefits and intense happiness brought about by reading aloud to their children, and if every parent- and every adult caring for a child-read aloud a minimum of three stories a day to the children in our lives, we could probably wipe out illiteracy within one generation.
A society can exist - many do exist - without writing, but no society can exist without reading.
Look at any country that's plagued with poverty, disease or violence; the antidote is girls. Girls are the antibodies to many of society's ills.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
