It suggests that school always a limitation of the knowledge. We must increase our knowledge by this whole wide world. We need to know unknown things or hidden things to reach the ultimate process of Enlightenment.

''Facing reality or facing problem is very essential to know the actual meaning of life and to live a better life''. This is also a part of Enlightenment, Suggested by the Allegory.

Not only that this also suggests that knowing is always better than not knowing. So we must need to motivate ourself to learn something new.
