Pedagogy is the name given to the method of teaching. Formal education starts right from childhood, that is,kindergarten, primary school middle school, high school, college and university. Education has been made compulsory in many places and it should be like that because everyone has the right to education.
Educatio is a Latin word meaning rearing or bringing up from which the word education has been derived. In older days our ancestors used to educate and guide us verbally to make us acquainted with the norms of the society. Certain skills which were deemed necessary in the society were also taught the same way. Even story telling transferred this immense knowledge from one generation to another. Education must be made equally available for all people irrespective of caste, creed, gender and status. Altogether education comprises of a vast set of practices oriented towards passing on to the future generations the experience, intellect and the heritage of the past for development of an individual so that he can remain integrated with the society.
Now formal teaching in a school is nothing but a specialized teacher in a particular subject holding various degrees in that particular field imparts knowledge to a bunch of students in a classroom environment. Later they are also made to attempt tests and are given scores based on how much hold they have on the subject and how much knowledge they have acquired throughout the learning process. This gives a chance of evaluating each student and pointing out their weak and strong points and guiding them accordingly so that they can overcome such difficulties only to emerge as a stronger individual in future. To attain high economic growth for a country education must be one of the methods to do so. Our schooling and human capital is dependent on our education status. However some academically good students might not be able to progress further due to financial crisis. So basically education is a discipline which all must follow right from childhood and continue further till death as we all know knowledge has no end..
