Education

Education is something that people take of themselves and for themselves. Education can be considered not only to the transmission of knowledge of initial and ongoing training, but beyond cognitive learning, good manners that show a person know something. Having a specific emphasis on education in Christian Universities, there is an opportunity to learn under well trained Christian faculty and environment based on biblical framework of education. Rather than attempting to define what it means to be well-educated, should we instead be asking about the purposes of education?

The rising competition in this era has raised the bars of education for every individual. The process of learning has further categorized into branches, providing multiple options to choose from.

Many of the authors like Alfie Kohn are proving their stance similar to mine in their literature. Being educated is not about completing the degree at the university, but it means to achieve and earn the utmost level of behavior and the ability to carry high morale in the society.
