Education

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, and habits. Educational methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on how one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.

There are many different theories about the purpose of education. Some believe that the purpose of education is to prepare students for the workforce, while others believe that it is to help students become well-rounded individuals. There are also those who believe that the purpose of education is to help students develop their critical thinking skills and their ability to think for themselves.
