Learning is the backbone of the education and teaching is the head of it. What we learn is not what we are taught but what we want to learn. Whenever the student is in the classroom, it is not assured that he or she is learning from the teacher, as it may be the opposite because the only thing that a student may lack is the ability to learn; no doubt, every person has aptitude and attitude for learning from both internal, i.e., self-orientation and external.

 It is very common that many students go anywhere to get education but they learn many things, which are actually prohibited in education as it makes learning abilities, polluted which can misguide the student at later stages of his or her mental, emotional and social developments. The learning cannot take place without self-study because it is like the banks to the river to learning. The self-study is capacity of learning and it is by improving self-study and ability to learn, a student can get substantial gain in both education and all other fields and faculties of learning and living. 

However, it does not appear integrated part of the education system as yet, there is no doubt, it is the best possible remedial and preventive measure for the self-study and learning handicaps, the students in particular and other related to education and society in general can surely get benefits form learning the educationally oriented skills for the self-study and learning for peace of mind with better marks and grades.
