Education in a narrow sense refers to specially organized school education; Broadly speaking, it refers to social practice activities that affect people's physical and mental development.

Education is a kind of thinking teaching, and people have different thinking tendencies because of their own ideology.

This is the foundation of education. Education is also a process of teaching and educating people, which can teach others the most objective understanding.
