Overview

The transmission of knowledge, skills, and character qualities is known as education. There are numerous arguments over its specific definition, such as which goals it seeks to achieve. Another question is if part of the essence of education is that the student improves. Some scholars emphasise the importance of critical thinking in distinguishing between education and indoctrination. These disputes have an impact on how to identify, measure, and improve educational formats. The phrase can also refer to educated people's mental moods and traits. It can also refer to the academic field of education research.
