"Education is commonly used. The meaning of the term is very broad. It has several meanings. Therefore it is difficult to define the term education comprehensively. It has its literary as well as technical meaning. Some important meanings of this term have been enumerated and stated as education is a dynamic process, education is a continuous process or life long process, education is a tripper process and education is a purposeful or objective oriented process. Philosophical and historical types of research, these two types of approach are complementary to one another rather that contradictory to each other." (jacket)
