2. Education
“Education is not preparation for
life; education is life itself”
John Dewey
Education in its general sense is a
form of learning, in which
knowledge, skills, and habits of a
group of people are transferred
from one generation to the next
through teaching, training, or
research

often learned indirectly through experience
and practice.

skills may be more or less relevant depending
on one’s life circumstances, culture, beliefs,
age, geographic location etc

9. •Learning is skill enhancement and skill
enhancement will help in empowering us to take
positive actions, to protect ourselves and to
promote health and positive social relationships.
•Skill enhancement typically uses a combination
of cognitive and behavior problem solving
approaches, both of which are used to strengthen
a persons’ positive skill development.

10. Conclusion
Skills can be developed effectively in students if
these are fostered in a consistent way from early
childhood to the end of second-level education
continuing through life.
Early experiences support the development of
various skills in individuals. The knowledge, skills,
attitudes and dispositions developed in the early
years have a significant impact upon their later
learning experiences.
