Education the act or process of imparting or acquiring
general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and
judgment, and generally
of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life

social institution through which a society’s children are
taught basic academic knowledge, learning skills, and cultural
norms.

Further more, the word education is derived from the Latin
word "educare" which means "to train" to rear or bring-up (a
child)". It plays a significant role in transferring culture and
social norms among members of society, in the process of
training and various modalities of educating

Whether formal or nonformal, education addresses various need of

this society. Education also provides a "productive citizenry" and
makes the self-actualization" possible. Productive citizens are
neccesary for the improvement of the community.

However, self-actualization refers to the desre for self-fulfillment

or the tendency of himan to become actualized in what he is
potentially. Again education takes a vital part to achieve the self
actualization.

society.

(Teachers to learners, and learner to learner), the transmission of
culture is at the highest possible.

of education" education portrays an important role to unify
inindividuals by teaching the common values and social norms


d) Social Placement It could be cliche "all other professions rooted

from teachers" through. it is indeed the reality
