Education a term originated from a Latin word “educate” which means to bring up. Education carries people to greatness.
It is an essential in life as it empowers people with knowledge, enables them to contribute to the society, earn money and be independent. Education is one of the basics activities in every society. Education is a process that starts right at birth not a process that is limited to teaching people basic academics like mathematics or history. It can be considered as a process of discovering new things that a person was not previously aware of and increasing knowledge.
