Meaning of Education - 1

Definition of education in common usage ‘is merely the delivery of


knowledge, skills and information from teachers to students’, but
does not encompass the importance of being or becoming
educated.

Education is a process of cognitive cartography, chalking up your


experiences and guiding yourself to a variety of possible courses
to reach optimal states when you find yourself in non-optimal
states.
