If you ask five different people this question you will find five very different answers. Why does this diversity of opinion exist on such a seemingly innocuous question and on a topic which is part of every bodies day to day life?
Every individual from the day he is born, embarks on an unending path of assimilating knowledge and educating himself. Whether is it a kid learning the first letter of a language or a Noble Prize winning scientist who has discovered something new to add to the reams of knowledge already existing in this world, everybody is following a unique path of learning something new and adding to the knowledge base of this world. This unique path shapes every individuals thoughts, beliefs and reasoning in its own unique way and adds to the diversity existing in the world.
Thus education to me is a continuous learning experience which adds different dimensions to every individuals personality making them the unique individuals they are. Sources of learning can be varied. It can be from books, experiences from one's own life or life experiences of other people etc. Whatever the source, every book that you read or every experience that you have will help in shaping you and make you better prepared for life's novel experiences. This should be the purpose of education.
