INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

1.1 EDUCATION

Education is a developmental process that takes place in an individual as a

result of his exposure and interaction with people and other stimuli in his environment.

As a result of this interaction, the individual acquires a store of knowledge as well as

attitudes, appreciations, skills, thoughts, and processes which enable him to utilize his

knowledge and prepare him to live in society. Education provides individuals with

ample opportunities to develop their inborn physical, mental, and emotional qualities to

the full, so that they can achieve cosmic unity through their action, thought, and feeling.

Education has to provide individuals with an appropriate social environment to

develop them physically, mentally, and emotionally to fulfill their social obligations. One

of the primary goals of education is to enable each individual to become aware of his

capabilities and to develop them to the maximum.
