Modern man of power considers morality synonymous with power which can cause nuclear destruction.
Modern education system must find a way to infuse moral sensitivity in its subjects.

This is just what I think, may be some professional will guide you better.
By reading the original text it seems you couldn't grasp the underline theme. what i understood from this is, Like his ancestors who faced crises of survival, contemporary man is also threatened by ignorance. The ignorance of modern man, however, is not that which can be cured by the exercise of pure intelligence. His critical ignorance lies in an inadequate functional sense of social morality. Probably the only protection for contemporary man is to discover how to use his intelligence in the service of love and kindness. The training of human intelligence must include the simultaneous development of the emphatic capacity. Only in this way can intelligence be made an instrument of social morality and responsibility——and thereby increase the chance of survival.The need to produce human beings with trained morally sensitive intelligence is essentially a challenge to educators and educational institutions.
