CTET 2012 : Education Meaning Purpose Philosophy

CTET : Education Meaning Purpose Philosophy


What is Education?

Education is a continuing voyage of discovery, an everlasting quest to achieve the fullest wisdom and stature that God meant for us.
The word education comes from the Latin educare, to draw out. In a broad sense it means not only to elicit creative thought and knowledge from the student, but to draw  humankind out of the predicament it is in.


What are the The Purpose of Education?

To restore in man the image of his Maker, to bring him back to the perfection in which he was created, to promote the development of body, mind, and soul, that the divine purpose in his creation might be realized–this was to be the work of redemption. This is the object of education, the great object of life.

Education enables humans to achieve their fullest personal, spiritual, mental, social, and physical potentials. The ability of being educated is what distinguishes humans from  animals. Education transforms an individual and allows her to effect change in her environment.

What is The Meaning of Education?
True education means more than the pursual of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.
