  • Education


  • encompasses teaching andspecific and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, positive and well-developed wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental aspects the imparting of culture from generation to generation Education means 'to draw out', facilitating realisation of self-potential and latent talents of an individual. It is an application of a body of theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning and draws on many disciplines such as often more profound than they realize—though family teaching may function very informally.





Teaching
Teachers need the ability to understand a subject well enough to convey its essence to a new generation of students.[ The goal is to establish a sound knowledge base on which students will be able to build as they are exposed to different life experiences The passing of knowledge from generation to generation allows students to grow into useful members of society.[Good teachers can translate information, good judgment, experience and wisdom into relevant knowledge that a student can understand and retain.[As a profession, teaching has very high levels of Work-Related Stress (WRS)[ which are listed as amongst the highest of any profession in some countries, such as the United Kingdom. The degree of this problem is becoming increasingly recognized and support systems are put into place]
