Education – road to social development

The term ‘education’ is defined by various experts in different manner. I would like to place this particular definition. ‘Education’ is a systematic process through which a child or an adult acquires knowledge, experience, skill and sound attitude. It makes an individual civilized, refined, cultured and educated. For a civilized and socialized society, education is the only means for a healthy environment. Education makes an individual perfect. Every society gives importance to education because it is the key to solve various problems of life. Paulo Freire (1973) famously called this banking – making deposits of knowledge. Such ‘schooling’ quickly descends into treating learners like objects, things to be acted upon rather than people to be related to. John Dewey (1916) put it, a social process – ‘a process of living and not a preparation for future living’.
