--> Definition of Education :
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, however learners may also educate themselves.
--> What is Education?
Effective education is a learning experience.
Education brings about an inherent and permanent change in a person's thinking and capacity to do things.
Many people have a superficial concept of education; equating it with doing a particular course or obtaining a particular qualification.
Qualifications and courses however do not always equate with effective education.
--> How Good is a Qualification?
There's no escaping the fact that good learning takes time.
Reading a book and understanding what you read, does not mean that you have been educated (or permanently changed), if you don't integrate what you read into your attitudes and memory. Similarly, attending a course and hearing a lecture doesn't mean you have changed or been educated.
Real education is very different to just having access to (or being exposed to) information about something. Real education embeds things into one's brain, and anyone who understands learning will understand that this comes from repeated exposure and use of information or skills.
Sadly, in today's world, people want to fast track everything: but learning is something that cannot usually be fast tracked.
