Published on April 29, 2021 | Updated on April 15, 2024

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. 

Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves.

Learning in an institution usually starts when you enter kindergarten or preschool and then primary school comes for young children. Then students start secondary education, in some countries, this is called high school and people specialize in a particular subject after attending college or university.
