    DEVELOPMENT OF

    EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN
    BS SEMESTER 5
    DEFINITION OF EDUCATION

    • Origin: The term Education has been derived from two Latin words Educare and Educatum.
    • Educare: it means Train or Mould. It indicates the development of the latent faculties of the child.
    • Latent faculties mean the intangible abilities which are present in the child but we cannot touch or
    see. For instance, perception, motivation, and intelligence.
    • Basically, educare means to bring up or lead out the or develop the abilities of students from inward
    to outward.
    • Educatum: It denotes the act of teaching and throws light on the principles and practices of teaching.
    THE EDUCATION PROCESS

    • A combination of educatum and educare is what know as education.


    • It is the process of the educator helping the child explore and develop his/her latent
    faculties
    • Definition of education according to the oxford dictionary: The process of receiving or
    giving systematic instruction, especially at the school or university.
    DEFINITION OF EDUCATION FROM THE
    PHILOSOPHERS
    Socrates: "Education means the bringing out of the ideas of universal validity which are latent in the mind of every man".
    Plato: "Education is the capacity to feel pleasure and pain at the right moment. It develops in the body and in the soul of the
    pupil all the beauty and all the perfection which he is capable of."
    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.
    Rousseau: "Education of man commences at his birth; before he can speak, before he can understand he is already instructed.
    Experience is the forerunner of the perfect".
    Herbert Spencer: "Education is complete living".
    Heinrich Pestalozzi: "Education is natural harmonious and progressive development of man's innate powers".
    Friedrich Willian Froebel: "Education is unfoldment of what is already enfolded in the germ. It is the process through which
    the child makes internal external"
    • Rigved: "Education is something which makes man self-reliant and selfless".
    • Upanishad: "Education is for liberation".
    • Gunrunner: "Education is self-realization and service to people".
    • Kautilya: "Education means training of the country and love of the nation".
    • Vivekanand: “Education is the manifestation of the divine perfection, already existing in man."
    • Tagore: "The widest road leading to the solution of all our problems is education."
    GROUP WORK

    In groups of four, ask students to construct their own definition of education which they
    believe completely defines education.
    CAN WE STOP EDUCATION?
    Education as a lifelong process

    • Education, in the broader sense of learning and personal growth, is typically not something that can be
    completely stopped. While formal education through schools, colleges, or universities may have specific
    timeframes and endpoints, the concept of lifelong learning suggests that individuals continue to acquire
    knowledge and skills throughout their lives.
    • Education is a lifelong process, beyond the boundaries of formal schooling. It signifies an ongoing
    commitment to learning, growth, and adaptation at all stages of life. This continuous quest for knowledge
    and skill development is essential for personal and professional evolution. It encourages individuals to stay
    current in a world of rapid change, fosters critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and provides
    opportunities for personal enrichment beyond the confines of the classroom. Education as a lifelong process
    empowers individuals to thrive in a dynamic, ever-evolving world.
