How Do You Define Education?

Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Simply put, education can be defined as the art or process of imparting skill and knowledge.  Education can be either formal or informal. The success of education lies in harnessing the latent potential of an individual. Informal education happens subconsciously when the values and behaviour of an individual is shaped due to constant interaction with his environment. Formal education on the other hand, is a deliberate effort by a person to learn the skills and techniques considered important for a particular job or activity.  

    Formal education can bring in a lot of specialisation, for example a computer education or a college education. In certain countries and cultures, there is very little of formal education being imparted, as children observe and imbibe from their parents and other elderly groups in the household. In many countries when there is a lot of stress on formal education, the efficient mode of teaching through the concept of a school and teacher assumes a lot of significance.
