A liberal education is a system or course of education suitable for the cultivation of


a free (Latin: liber) human being. It is based on the medieval concept of the liberal arts or, more
commonly now, the liberalism of the Age of Enlightenment.[1] It has been described as "a
philosophy of education that empowers individuals with broad knowledge and transferable
skills, and a stronger sense of values, ethics, and civic engagement ... characterised by
challenging encounters with important issues, and more a way of studying than a specific
course or field of study" by the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
2. Liberal education is an approach to learning that empowers individuals and prepares them to
deal with complexity, diversity, and change. It provides students with broad knowledge of the
wider world (e.g., science, culture, and society) as well as in-depth study in a specific area of
interest.
A liberal education constitutes a flexible curriculum that can expose a learner to various
concepts and theories, which can be readily applied to a certain situation. Moreover, this kind
of education does not constrain or lock a student in a box. Liberal education aims to empower
an individual and give him the ability to decide over his fate.

liberal arts . Another early sense ‘generous’ gave rise to an obsolete meaning ‘free from
restraint’, leading to liberal (late 18th century).
