Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something
less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, positive judgment
and well-developed wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental aspects the
imparting of culture from generation to generation (see socialization).
Education means 'to draw out', facilitating realisation of self-potential and
latent talents of an individual. It is an application of pedagogy, a body of
theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning and draws on
many disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics,
neuroscience, sociology —often more profound than they realize—though family
teaching may function very informally.
