“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. – Albert Einstein” This quotation said by Einstein states that, our education does not reflect how expensive our tuition fees are or how high tech our schools either. It is the capacity of an individual with a well-functioning mind to apply the concepts and principles that he/she was taught and to be learned (the ability to perform new behavior).
Even before kids enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
