Education and Learning
Education has a close relationship with learning and it also draws a distinction between learning and education. Learning is a process that results in more or less permanent modification of behavior as a result of practice or experience. But any change in the behavior of human being resulting from physical or social maturation cannot be considered as learning, so these are excluded from the purview of learning.
In contrast, education is concerned with the harmonious development of human ability and powers according to the needs of the individual and society, while learning results in specific modification of behavior, education seeks its mold the entire personality and takes a global view of an individual’s abilities. Another distinction between learning and education is that while learning can be positive or negative, education is always positive from the point of view of social values.
