What is education?

Although the topic is given to us quite a number of days sgo, I am still going to touch on this topic: What is education?
Education is actually the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life. Moral values are taught too. Education can be done in school (public education), self-education or homeschooling.
In school, teachers may draw on many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. Public education is education mandated for or offered to the children of the general public by the government, whether national, regional, or local, provided by an institution of civil government, and paid for.
It is possible for man to educate himself without help or support from others. That is the self-education. Self-educated people are not dependent on others for knowledge. If they need a specialized skill, they know how to acquire it.
Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents or professional tutors, rather than in a public or private school. The motivations for homeschooling range from a dissatisfaction with the schools in their area to the desire for better academic test results.
