Education means the formal training or instructions that are provided to someone to improve their mind and character. Education is imparted by teachers at school level and can be self-gained, through various means. There are several types of education like moral education which teaches you values, physical education which keeps you fit, sex education which brings awareness regarding sex and AIDS. The sole purpose of education is to basically create awareness. In the words of Alexander Pope, “It is education from the common mind, Just as the twig is bent, and the tree is inclined.”
Education makes one capable of taking their own decisions and choosing between the right and the wrong. An educated person can be easily distinguished from an uneducated person, by his civilised mannerisms and way of talking. In the words of Lord Byron, “Education makes the people easy to lead, difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.”
