EDUCATION

schooling) in the general sense is any act or
experience that has a formative effect on the
mind, character, or physical ability of an
individual.
• In its technical sense, education is the
process by which society deliberately transmits
its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values
fromone generation to another.
 QUALITY
EDUCATION
A quality education is one that focuses on the whole child--
the social, emotional, mental, physical, and cognitive
development of each student regardless of gender, race,
ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or geographic location. It
prepares the child for life, not just for testing.
A quality education provides resources and directs policy to
ensure that each child enters school healthy and learns about
and practices a healthy lifestyle; learns in an environment that is
physically and emotionally safe for students and adults; is
actively engaged in learning and is connected to the school and
broader community; has access to personalized learning and is
supported by qualified, caring adults; and is challenged
academically and prepared for success in college or further study
and for employment and participation in a global environment.
LEARNERS who are healthy, well-nourished and ready to
participate and learn, and supported in learning by their
families and communities;
 ENVIRONMENTS that are healthy, safe, protective and
gender-sensitive, and provide adequate resources and
facilities;
 CONTENT that is reflected in relevant curricula and
materials for the acquisition of basic skills, esp. in the areas
of literacy, numeracy, and skills for life, and knowledge in
such areas as gender, health, nutrition, HIV/AIDS prevention
and peace.
PROCESSES through which trained teachers use
child centered teaching approaches in well-
managed classrooms and schools and skillful
assessment to facilitate learning and reduce
disparities;
 OUTCOMES that encompass knowledge, skills,
and attitudes, and are linked to national goals
for education and positive participation in
society.

CONCLUSION
Education levels vary between countries around the world. In general,
people in underdeveloped and undeveloped countries do not have access to
quality education or education at all. Those in developed nations have
higher literacy rates and at least a basic high school education.
According to the Global Partnership for Education, education plays a key
role in human, social, and economic development. Education is considered
to be a human right and plays a key role in human, social, and economic
development. Education promotes gender equality, promotes peace, and
increases a person’s chances of having more opportunities in life.
The value of education is not
the learning of many acts
but the learning of the mind
to think.
