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 [[discipline]]s such as [[psychology]], [[philosophy]], [[computer science]], [[linguistics]], [[neuroscience]], [[sociology]] and [[anthropology]].[http://www.teachersmind.com/education.htm]

The education of an [[individual]] [[human]] begins at birth and continues throughout life. (Some believe that education begins even before birth, as [[evidence]]d 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]
