Which of the following is true about the right kind of education? I. It helps students to discover what they are most interested in. II. It helps students to develop their capacities. III. It helps students to understand their own highest interest. Correct Answer I, II  and III

To understand an abstract concept like education, one is required to explicate its meaning or nature from the point of view of the functions such concepts perform or the contexts in which such concepts are appropriately used. Etymologically, the word "Education" is derived from the Latin words "educare", "educere" and "educantum". The Following are the Characteristics of Education:
  • It is a life long process because a person learns through his experience and experience goes life-long.
  • It helps children in making them mature and free.
  • It helps students to discover what they are most interested in.
  • It helps students to develop their capacities.
  • It helps students to understand their own highest interest.
  • It is a dynamic process because education changes as per the need. Hence, it can't be static.
  • It helps in the development of the individual in all aspects whether it is mental, emotional, physical, social, moral or spiritual.
  • It helps in the development of a child's innate power. For example, Edison's school teacher labelled him as "abnormal". Still, he succeeded in becoming one of the great inventors.
  • Education modifies behaviour by bringing out desirable changes in one's behaviour. Professor Drever has supported the statement "Education is a process in which and by which knowledge, character and behaviour of the young are shaped and moulded."
  • It helps in social adjustment, for example with parents, relatives, friends and teachers.
  • It could be a direct process when the teacher and the students are in the direct contact but it is labelled indirect when education is non-formal or informal i.e. from a distance.
  • It enriches a person's experience when a person aims at his goal.
  • It helps in attainment of goals in one's life.
  • It should be noted that it could be both theoretical and practical.
  • It is the demand of the modern age because gone are the days when people didn't have the required skillset to make a task viable.
  • It is scientific in nature as that each passing day technology is evolving.
  • Education brings social change. It is a powerful tool for social reconstruction.

Hence, we conclude that the above-mentioned statement is related to education.

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. By practicing mindfulness and other principles, we become more aware of and present to our fears and others fears, bearing witness as a way of healing andempowering. We see the spiritual path as intertwined with the path of social action, with contemplation and action parts of the same whole, each nourishing andguiding the other. Acknowledging that our well-being depends on others makes caring for others well-being a moral responsibility.
Through a “mindful citizen” exercise, we create a story articulating who we are as individuals who are also part of communities. This exercise helps us move beyond cynicism, complacency, and despair, instead infusing us with a sense of purpose. We embrace our gifts, resolving to do our part to promote a sense of common humanity as a means toward social justice.
With this exercise, I believe we can help students bridge their divides and replace anger and distrust with compassionate connections – just as I witnessed betweenShirley and Tiffany.
Shirley returned to class after a brief hiatus, keeping a cool distance from Tiffany. But over the weeks spent together they gradually came to know each other. They practiced seeing and listening, sharing stories so different that they felt bewildered as to how they could overcome the gap. But they found that acknowledging their differences led them to discover a place of deep connection in commonalities, such as being raised by grandmothers, and even wounds, including childhood trauma,that they never imagined existed.
In assessments of these classes, students say that these small groups become “healing communities,” where we overcome victimization and claim agency. Healingoccurs as we transcend an “us vs. them” mentality, crossing borders and forging connections. These communities show a way of reducing intergroup prejudice andfostering inclusion based in psychology research and pedagogical practice. How students can replace their anger and distrust?
