Education

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Education can take place in formal or informal settings, and can be provided by schools, universities, or other institutions. The purpose of education is to help individuals develop their full potential and to prepare them for responsible citizenship and productive careers. Education can also play a role in promoting social and cultural understanding, and in contributing to the overall development of society. Different countries and cultures have their own approaches to education, and the quality and accessibility of education can vary greatly.
