Meaning of Education

Education, like philosophy is also closely related to human life. Therefore, being an important life activity
education is also greatly influenced by philosophy. Various fields of philosophy like the political philosophy, social
philosophy and economic philosophy have great influence on the various aspects of education like educational
procedures, processes, policies, planning and its implementation, from both the theoretical and practical aspects.

Etymologically, the word education is derived from

educare (Latin) "bring up", which is related to
educere "bring out", "bring forth what is within", "bring out potential" and
educere, "to lead".

Education in the largest 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 from one generation to another.
Webster defines education As The Process Of Educating Or Teaching (now that's really useful, isn't it?)
Educate is further defined as "to develop the knowledge, skill, or character of..." Thus, from these definitions, we might
assume that the purpose of education is to develop the knowledge, skill, or character of students.
Definitions of education
Concepts of Education as defined by Western philosophers.
1. Socrates: "Education means the bringing out of the ideas of universal validity which are latent in the mind of every
man".
2. Plato: "Education is the capacity to feel pleasure and pain at the right moment. It develops in the body and in the soul
of the pupil all the beauty and all the perfection which he is capable of."

essentially consists.

instructed. Experience is the forerunner of the perfect".
5. Herbert Spencer: "Education is complete living".
6. Heinrich Pestalozzi: "Education is natural harmonious and progressive development of man's innate powers".
7. Friedrich Willian Froebel: "Education is unfoldment of what is already enfolded in the germ. It is the process through
which the child makes internal external".
