Education refers to the teaching and learning of knowledge, beliefs and skills. The word education, derived from the Latin educare meaning "to raise", "to bring up", "to train". Recently a different verb; educere, meaning to "lead out" or "lead forth", has been suggested as the root of education. However, the English word from this verb is "eduction": drawing out, and bolsters the theory behind the function of education—to develop innate abilities and expand horizons. Please see Education Versus Eduction.
