– Education refers to the process of learning and
acquiring information. Education can be
divided into two main types: formal learning
through an institution such as a school and
self-taught learning or what is often termed life
experience. Generally, education is important
for learning basic life skills, as well as learning
advanced skills that can make a person more
attractive in the job market.
• What Is Education?

5. • Martin Luther King Jr.:
– “Education must enable one to sift and weigh
evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real
from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.”
– “We must remember that intelligence is not enough.
Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true
education. The complete education gives one not only
power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon
which to concentrate.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
