Education is learning something new.
It is not limited to children but is something that is done everyday by
everyone. To function in our world, our children must learn the skills
they will need to become productive members of our society.
In some cultures, this may be basic agriculture skills and things such
as where the best grazing land is and the most reliable source of
drinkable water. In other cultures, this may include computer usage as
well as reading and mathematics. How we go about teaching the children
varies as well, from formal curriculums defined by the countries'
leaders to parents teaching their own children
