Conception of the scope of education

The meaning of education can be simply interpreted as an attempt to foster human personality in accordance with the values in society and culture. Thus, however simple civilization of a society, in which occurred or took place a process of education. Because it is often stated education has been around as long as human civilization. Education is an institution of civilized society, but the purposes of education are not the same in all societies. An educational system finds it’s the guiding principles and ultimate goals in the aims and philosophy of the social order in which it functions. The term “Education” refers to the board function of preserving and improving the life of the group through bringing new members into its shared concerns. Education is thus a far broader process than that which occurs in schools. It is an essential social activity by which communicaties continue to exist. In complex communicaties this function is specialized and institutionalized informal education, but there is always the education outside the school with wich the formal process in related. The word “Education” is used, sometimes in a wider, sometimes in a narrower, sense. In the wider sense, all experience is said to the educative. ………………. The child educates his parents, the pupil educates his teachers, the dog educates his master. Everything we say, think, or do, educates us, no less than what is said or done to us by other beings, animate or inanimate. In this wider sense, life is education, and education is life. From some of the explanations above we can conclude that education is a human activity and efforts to enhance his personality by fostering personal potentials, namely the spiritual (thought, intention, taste, creativity and conscience mind) and physical (sensory and skills ). Education is also the agency responsible for setting educational objectives, content, systems and educational organizations. These institutions include: family, school and community.
