CAUSE OF EDUCATION

A good education lays the path for a better quality of life. There have been many studies done, both formal and informal, that show the effects of education or lack thereof in a person's life.

As a nation we realize the importance of an education for all children, which is why we have a public school system to offer every child an educational opportunity, regardless of their background, parent's income or any other factors.

HISTORY

Education began in the earliest prehistory, as adults trained the young in the knowledge and skills deemed necessary in their society. In pre-literate societies this was achieved orally and through imitation. Story-telling passed knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to the next.As cultures began to extend their knowledge beyond skills that could be readily learned through imitation, formal education developed. Schools existed in Egypt at the time of the Middle Kingdom.

EDUCATION

 Education is the process of facilitating learning. Knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a group of people are transferred to other people, through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, or research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves in a process called auto didactic learning. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.
