In life there are some many restrictions in achieving our ambitions. The main restriction is MONEY. In education there should be no restrictions as education should be and can be available to all and education is for all ages. Education and what it is designed to do. This means actively engaging in ensuring that all receive the information about subjects taught, courses available, services for the disabled and those with special needs, approved teaching organisations and ensuring that each person is educated to the set standard and guidelines. It is also designed to inform all on the different subjects taught and mechanisms and encouragement and support available to assist were one has failed. It encourages all that we can learn and that learning does not begin when we start nursery, reception class and primary school and learning does not end at secondary school, college and or university. We are always learning. Whether good or bad, we are learning all the time. We learn through play, socialising, oral and written communication, art, dance, music, meditation, reading and various activities. We will also give ourselves to learning according to our heart desires, role models, various professions and even our dreams. We do not always take a specific direction by chance. It is our desire(s) that pushes us in the direction that we take and we educate ourselves accordingly. Many of us have entered into jobs by chance and were it is a job that we enjoy, we will endeavour to learn the required/specialist skills required on the job, through reading, take an online and or internal/external training. We are always learning and from this reality, you can see why education is designed for all and why is it important that we keep learning not for the evil but for the good. Learning is also a means of empowerment. You are enlightened and equipped in all aspects of your life. What is Education? It is the agreed way of learning. Education is structured and developed by a governing body. Here are some other definitions given to education. (a)the activities of educating or instructing or teaching: activities that impart knowledge or skill (b)knowledge gained by learning and instruction: "it was clear to see that s/he had a very broad education" (c)the gradual process of acquiring knowledge: "education is a way of preparing for life" (d)the profession of teaching (especially at a nursery, school or college or university) (e)the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behaviour): " women of breeding and refinement" Education is also a large library and for many it is as a depository built to contain books and other materials for reading and study, (computing) a collection of standard programs and subroutines that are stored and available for immediate use. Who is education designed for? Education is for each person and for all ages. It even matters in the womb. A child and or children in the womb can be educated i.e. through music, reading. It has been proven that children taught a song or piece of music from the womb will respond to the song and the piece of music once born. In each country there is a structured way of teaching. Some countries have a frameworks and strategy for child from birth. Does this mean that were this framework and strategy is not in place children are less fortunate. NO! As teaching is not always performed in a formal setting. God has given parents an in built mechanism in teaching and this is demonstrated when a child is born. Instantly this gift is immediately switched on and parents commence teaching. Educating them about there family, body parts, toys, surroundings, environment until such time that they can receive an education. In England for instance, there is a framework and strategy for children aged 0-3 years. The foundation stage is for children aged 3-5 years. The foundation stage is the first stage of the National Curriculum followed by: Key stage 1 (5-7 years), Key stage 2 (7-11), Key stage 3 (11-14) & Key stage 4 (14-16). Then some receive Higher Education, which are advanced subjects that we undertake once we have completed primary, junior and secondary school education. It is a way of ensuring that one receives the highest level to enable them to achieve the job and profession one wishes to do. Adult learning: Many adults are continuing and returning to education. This is because many are embarking upon a career change or need to be qualified in their present professions such as a social worker. This can be achieved at whilst at work, through a part-time or full time course, through e-learning. It is encouraging to see so many in education no matter the age.
