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, but learners may also educate themselves. Education can
take place in formal or informal settings and
any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks,
feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is
called pedagogy.
Education is
commonly divided formally into such stages
as preschool or kindergarten, primary
school, secondary school and then college, university,
or apprenticeship.
A right
to education has been recognized by some governments and the United
Nations. In most regions, education is compulsory up to a
certain age.
