Today, more than ever before, education is a lifelong endeavor. Graduation from college no longer means that you are launched into the world to pursue your career, never to return to the classroom. Today's ever-changing communications, technological, and economic conditions require people of all ages and circumstances to update and enhance their knowledge and skills continually. The challenge for educators today is to meet the demands of students from preschool through retirement and beyond.
Education is the process by which people acquire knowledge, skills, habits, values, and attitudes.
It involves both teaching and learning and is indeed a life-long process. All of us are continually learning. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning. History and Background Education is as old as the human race.
