Education in broad sense and narrow sense
To understand the connotation of education, we must first make clear the difference between broad education and narrow education. Education in a broad sense refers to all activities aimed at improving people's knowledge and skills, developing intelligence and physical strength, influencing people's ideology and morality and perfecting people's personality.

Education in a narrow sense mainly refers to school education, which is a social activity to cultivate people purposefully and is the fundamental feature that distinguishes education from other things.
