Education means 'to draw out', facilitating realisation of self-potential and latent talents of an [[individual]]. It is an application of pedagogy, a body of theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning and draws on many disciplines such as [[psychology]], [[philosophy]], [[computer science]], [[linguistics]], [[neuroscience]], [[sociology]] and [[anthropology]].[http://www.teachersmind.com/education.htm An overview of education]

The education of an [[individual]] [[human]] begins at birth and continues throughout life. (Some believe that education begins even before birth, as evidenced by some parents' playing [[music]] or reading to the baby in the womb in the hope it will influence the child's development.) For some, the struggles and triumphs of daily life provide far more instruction than does formal [[school]]ing (thus [[Mark Twain]]'s admonition to "never let school interfere with your education"). [[Family]] members may have a profound educational effect, often more profound than they realize, because family instruction functions so largely by informal means.

Remember, year-by-year progress through an established educational regime does not necessarily mean [[intellectual]] progress, much less [[spiritual]] growth. Enlargement of vocabulary does not signify development of [[character]]. Growth is not truly indicated by mere products but rather by progress. Real educational growth is indicated by enhancement of [[ideal]]s, increased appreciation of [[value]]s, new [[meaning]]s of values, and augmented loyalty to supreme values.[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper100.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper100.html&line=34#mfs]

Education recently passed from the control of the clergy to that of lawyers and businessmen. Eventually it must be given over to the philosophers and the scientists. Teachers must be free beings, real leaders, to the end that [[philosophy]], the search for [[wisdom]], may become the chief educational pursuit.

And then, by means of these achievements, many will ascend to the mortal ultimate of [[mind]] attainment, [[God-consciousness]].[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper71.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper71.html&line=158#mfs]
