According to the Latin dictionary, education is derived from the three Latin words. They are Educere, Educare and Educatum.
''Educare'' which means ''to lead out'' or ''to draw out''. According to another view, the term is derived from the Latin word ''educere'' which means to bring up'' ''to raise'' or to nourish''. It means that education is an external imposition on the child and man.
According to the third view, the term education is derived from the Latin word ''Educatum'' which means the act of teaching or training.
According to Indian thinkers the word ''Shiksha'' is especially used for education. The term ''Shiksha'' is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root ''Shas'' which means to discipline, ''to control'', ''to instant'' or ''to teach''. The term ''Vidya'' is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root ''Vid'' which means to know.
According to the great educationist Dr.S.Radhakrishnan
"Education is to complete, must be humane, it must include not only the training of the intellect but the refinement of the heart and the discipline of the spirit. No education can be regarded as complete it if neglects the heart and the spirit.''
The basic objective of education is to prepare a better human being ultimately along with other expertises. But if we are getting expertised in academic skills but our values are decreasing, then that is the biggest downfall of any education system.
Every human being needs oxygen to survive in the world. Education is as important as this because education gives people the knowledge and skills they require.Education is important to people of all ages and it has no limit. Children require education in order for them to learn how to speak and to write.But in the pursuit of imparting education are we ruining the little gems of the country just to make them fit in the frigging society?
No education can be termed as bad it depends on every person how they utilize the education acquired by them right from their young age.
The right to education is not only the right to access education but also the right to receive an education of good quality.Quality is the heart of good education.
Education must be available and accessible but also acceptable and adaptable.
The aim of education is far beyond acquiring numeracy and literacy skills.
Education should be a lifelong learning and it has to be embedded in the way we teach our students.
A good education is not an end in itself…a good education is but a starting point.
