Education



Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits of a society are transferred from one generation to the next through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and or research. Education may also include informal transmission of such information from one being to another. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but learners may also educate themselves (autodidactic learning). Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.

In the Union, education is commonly and formally divided into stages such as Basic School, Union School and then apprenticeship, vocational school, college or university. Education can take place in formal[1] or informal[2] settings. The science and art of how best to teach is called pedagogy.
