4. What is education?
• An anonymous attempt to answer the question:
– “Education” is a broad term that can have
many meanings, but it is generally defined as
the process of learning and acquiring
information. Formal learning in a school or
university is one of the most common types,
though self-teaching and so-called “life
experiences” can also qualify.

5. What is education?
• Martin Luther King Jr.:
– “Education must enable one to sift and weigh
evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real
from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.”
– “We must remember that intelligence is not enough.
Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true
education. The complete education gives one not only
power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon
which to concentrate.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
