EDUCATION

In the broad sense, “any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character and physical ability can be called education”. The chief task of education is to shape man, or to guide the evolving dynamism through which man forms himself as a man. The task of education is to lead people out of darkness into light. Education means the process of acquiring experiences to develop one’s innate abilities and talents needed for a productive and successful personal and social life.


MEANING OF EDUCATION

The term “education” is derived from the Latin word ' educare’ and it means “to bring up” , “ to nourish” or “ to raise” . According to Swami Vivekananda, “education is the manifestation of divine perfection already existing in man”. According to Gandhiji, “By education, I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man, body mind and spirit”. According to Rabindranath Tagore, “Education consists in enabling the mind to find out ultimate truth which emancipates us from the bondage of lust, and gives the wealth not of things but of inner light, not of power but of love, making this truth its own, and giving expression to it.”
