What is Education

“Education” originates from the Latin for “to lead.” So when you educate children you are leading them from one place to another in all aspects.

What is Education : To me, education is the gateway to success. Success can be achieved when people have knowledge, skills, and attitude. I believe that education is the best way which shows us many ways to lead and utilize our life properly. Education helps us to explore our own thoughts and ideas and makes it able to express it in different forms. The truly educated person knows to treat everyone in the same manner despite their religion, caste, etc.

A truly educated person will be having best qualities compared to an uneducated person.

• Guiding others towards the path of success.
• Act well-mannered in all the time.
• Respects others equally without showing any difference.

• Adjust in life whenever required and will be practical and steady, when there is a problem in the front.
• Most of the educated persons will be having helping nature to others, they are very kind and they will learn things from by experiences and mistakes.

True Meaning of Education

             Education is not about getting good grades, education is not about memory test, education is not about how smartly you understand a particular topic. Education just doesn’t mean to acquire or getting knowledge, but it also teaches a person to be a good citizen and teaches humanity.

Definition of Education

            Education is the process of helping in learning or getting knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational techniques include narration, discussion, teaching, training, and targeted research. Education often occurs under the supervision of teachers, but learners can also educate themselves. As everyone knows, education is important in our day to day life. It improves human quality and helps to make everyone a better human being in this world. Education can happen in a formal or informal way, and any experience that has a constitutive effect on how one thinks feels or acts may be considered educational.
