Education is a defining part of human life. Human is also called a social animal. It’s the education supported my cognition which transforms an animal per se to a human. Mostly it’s a point to ponder that what is real education?
My teacher at school level (Allah may bless his soul) had defined education as:
- Learning to learn
- Learning to evaluate, and
- Learning to lead
There is a common debate on difference between qualification and education. Qualifications get us jobs whereas education transform our personalities. In my view basic attribute of an education ought to be that it impacts the personality of the subject. Any much of education which fails to have an impact on personality can be anything but education. Possessing knowledge doesn’t mean that the possessor is educated. Thus we may find a PhD who has abundance of knowledge but still may be uneducated as his knowledge failed to imapct his personality.
Above cited video gives another interesting dimension of education.
