  “Education is what remains when we have forgotten all we have been taught.”
  Lord Halifax (1633-95)
  Education in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.
