Education
Education refers to the systematic process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and competencies through teaching, training, research, and practical experience. It can be formal (schools, colleges), informal (family, community), or non-formal (skill centers, workshops).
The goals of education range from intellectual development and critical thinking to moral reasoning, creativity, and emotional growth. Modern education systems typically include stages such as primary, secondary, and higher education. Teaching methods vary widely—incorporating lectures, discussions, digital tools, and experiential learning.
Education plays a foundational role in shaping individuals and transforming societies. It empowers people, drives innovation, promotes equality, and enhances quality of life. National policies and international organizations continue to invest in education for global progress.
