10. DEFINITION OF EDUCATION
According to Aristotle, “Education is the
creation of a sound mind in a sound body… it
develops man’s faculty, especially his mind so
that he may be able to enjoy the
contemplation of supreme ‘truth, goodness
and beauty’ of which perfect happiness
essentially consists.”
According to Spencer, “Education is complete
living.”
According to John Dewey, “Education is the
process of living through a continuous
reconstruction of experiences. It is the
development of all those capacities in the
individual which will enable him to control

11. Redden’s definition of Education:
It is perhaps, in the words of Redden that we
can best describe the term ‘education’. According
to him,
“Education is the deliberate and systematic
influence, exerted by mature person on the
immature through instruction, discipline and
harmonious development of physical,
intellectual, aesthetic, social and spiritual
powers of the human being, according to
individual and social needs and directed
towards the union of the educand with his
creator as the final end.”

12. BROADER MEANING OF
EDUCATION
In the broader sense, education means the process of
development from ‘infancy to maturity’. It begins at birth and
continues throughout the life, till death; from ‘Womb to tomb’ as
they call it. It includes all the knowledge and experiences
acquired during infancy, childhood adolescence, youth,
manhood or old age, through any agency of education i.e. the
school, home church, society etc. In this way ones whole life
activities become the real source of education. The education
becomes sum total of all experiences that the child receives
inside the school or outside, through the study of different
subjects, through various activities, through the library, the
playground, the workshop or through other agencies. So
education is life and life itself is education. Education is nothing
but experiences of life. It starts in the cradle and ends in the
grave.

13. Education in the wider sense has also been
emphasized International Commission on Development
of Education (UNESCO). In their report ‘Learning to Be’,
they have given the concept of ‘Life Long Education’ by
saying… human beings keep on learning and training
themselves throughout their lives, above all through the
influence of surrounding environment and through the
experience which mould their behavior, their conceptions
of life and the content of their knowledge.

14. NARROWER MEANING OF
EDUCATION
In its narrower or relatively restricted meaning, the term
education is applied to whatever taught in school or university
system of education. It refers to whatever knowledge is made
available to an individual at a specific time, in a specific place
(school, colleges etc.), according to a specific curriculum and
specific time-table, and by a particular team of teachers. It has a
limited field and it primarily emphasizes the intellectual
development of the student. This type of education is formal,
intentional and consciously organized by the institution.
Students need to pass a pre-conceived set of examination
patterns through the organized way. The knowledge imparted by
this method is primarily theoretical, based on information
derived from text books, which only constitutes cognitive
domain of human behavior. It does not take into account the all
round development of the student’s personality and other
domain of human behaviors.
