common terminology education is associated with formal learning, but its scope extends far beyond 
classroom instruction.Besides imparting curriculum based knowledge and training, education has multiple 
functions, all of which have a direct or indirect bearing on society. Formal training imparted in 
educational institutionsforms only one component of education. In fact education involveslifelonglearning 
andis thesum total of all the experiences that an individual obtains during his/her lifetime in different 
social institutions.
