The word "education" comes from the Latin words educare and educere. Educare means "to bring up" or "to nourish" and educere means "to bring forth" or "to draw out"
The word "education" has been used to describe the process of passing down knowledge and shaping young people. It can also refer to the development of a child's latent abilities. The concept of education has changed over time. In the past, education was often seen as a process of transferring knowledge from a teacher to a student. Today, education is more commonly seen as a student-centered process of constructing knowledge.
