Question

"Education Edifies Culture" Discuss.​

Answer 1

Answer:

To, 'educate', according to the Oxford English Dictionary, means to 'bring up, give mental and moral training' and 'education' covers 'development of character and mental powers'. 'Culture', according to the same source, means 'rearing, mental and physical training'. Education and culture are thus not only mutually non-exclusive but in fact overlap so significantly that one cannot be provided for without the other. In order to be meaningful and thus effective, all education has to be culture friendly; equally, no education can be culture free or culture neutral, because the choice of content and strategies for educating signal a certain cultural thrust and priority.
