The fundamental difference between broad education and narrow education lies in whether there is a plan. Education in a broad sense refers to all purposeful education that affects others' knowledge structure, ideology and morality and promotes development. It may be unorganized, spontaneous and decentralized, or it may be organized, conscious and systematic.
Education in a broad sense: all activities that enhance people's knowledge and skills, develop people's intelligence and physical strength, and influence people's thoughts and morals are education. It includes social education, school education and family education. For example, listening to you is better than studying for ten years; The hardships of life have educated us, and these examples have had an impact on people. So they all belong to education in a broad sense.
Education in a narrow sense: mainly refers to school education, which is an activity that educators exert influence on the educated purposefully, planned and organized according to certain social requirements to promote their development in the expected direction. Education in a narrow sense sometimes refers to ideological and moral education activities, which is synonymous with "moral education" often mentioned in school education.

Chevreux, an American educational philosopher, explored three ways of defining education, namely, prescriptive definition, descriptive definition and programmatic definition. The prescriptive definition is a definition created by the author himself, and its connotation is always unified in a certain discourse situation of the author. Therefore, when testing this statement, people often think that such words appear.
Descriptive definition refers to an appropriate description of the defined object or an appropriate explanation of how to use the defined object. This concept often reflects some practical characteristics. A programming definition is a definition that defines what an object should be. This often reflects a feature that should be essential.
Education is also a kind of thinking teaching, and people have another thinking tendency because of their own ideology. Therefore, education should educate people with the most objective and fair thinking, so that people's thinking will not be too biased, and gradually mature and rational because of the richness of thinking, so as to move towards the most rational self and have the most correct thinking cognition.
This is the essence of education. Education is also a process of teaching and educating people, which can teach others the most objective understanding, and then gain their own values in their own life experience.
