Syam et al. (1988: 5-6) adapted from Prof. Lodge’s book “Philosophy of Education” said that education is used sometimes in a wider, sometimes in the narrow sense. All experience is said to be the educative. The child educates his parents, the pupil educates his teachers, and the dog educates his master. Everything we say, think or do educates us, no less than what is said or done by other beings, animate or inanimate. In this wider sense, life is education and education is life. In the narrower sense, education is restricted to that function of the communication which consists in passing on its traditions, its background and its outlook, to the members of the rising generation. In the narrower sense, education becomes in practice identical with schooling, which is formal instruction under controlled condition.
Education can also be defined as a conscious and deliberate effort to create a learning atmosphere and process so that the learners can actively develop their own potentials. As the result, they have spiritual power of religion, self-control, personality, intelligence, good characters and skills needed by their religions, societies, nations and states
