Education

Education is the development of individuals' capacity to be productive members of society, by teaching and learning specific knowledge, beliefs, and skills. Informally, it is the process of embibing knowledge of numbers and language that are taught by parents and other members of the student's culture and about the functioning of surrounding objects.Journals, magazines, books, and digests in the field of education address the teaching/learning practices that include lectures, game playing, testing, scheduling, record keeping, seating arrangements, interests, motivation, and computer access. It is now widely recognized that the most important factors in any teacher's effectiveness are the interaction with students and the knowledge and personality of the teacher.

The best teachers are able to translate knowledge of a subject, good judgment, experience, and wisdom into a significant knowledge of a subject that is understood and retained by the student. Teachers need the ability to understand a subject well enough to convey its essence to a new generation of students. The goal is to establish a foundation of knowledge base that allows the student to build on as they are exposed to different life experiences. The passing of knowledge from generation to generation see socialisation allows the student to grow into a useful member of society.
