From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For a more comprehensive list, see the List of education topics.

Education is the process by which an individual is encouraged and enabled to develop his or her potential; it may also serve the purpose of equipping the individual with what is necessary to be a productive member of society. Through teaching and learning, the individual acquires and develops knowledge and skills. There is an important distinction between education, which relates to a transactive process between a teacher and student, and learning, which is a process that happens internally for a student.
