What is education?
Education is the process where an individual acquires or imparts basic knowledge to another. It is also where a person:
- develops skills essential to daily living,
- learns social norms,
- develops judgment and reasoning, and
- learns how to discern right from wrong.
There are various types of education but typically, traditional schooling dictates the way one’s education success is measured. People who attended school and attained a higher level of education are considered more employable and likely to earn more.
In developing, low-income countries, for example, there is a projected 10 per cent increase in a person’s future income for every additional year of education.
Education helps eradicate poverty and hunger, giving people the chance at better lives. This is one of the biggest reasons why parents strive to make their kids attend school as long as possible. It is also why nations work toward promoting easier access to education for both children and adults.
