Abstract:
Education is widely recognized as a cornerstone of individual and societal
progress. It is not merely an instrument for academic knowledge transmission
but a lifelong process that shapes attitudes, values, behaviours, and
intellectual capabilities. As John Dewey (1938) aptly stated, ―Education is not
preparation for life; education is life itself,‖ highlighting its continual and
integral role in human development. In the global context, UNESCO (2015)
defines education as ―the process of facilitating learning or the acquisition of
knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits,‖ reaffirming its multifaceted
nature and transformative power. Education empowers individuals to
critically engage with the world, adapt to changes, and contribute
constructively to society.
