Education encompasses both the teaching
and learning of knowledge, proper conduct, and technical competency. It thus
focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades or professions, as well as mental,
moral & aesthetic development. Formal education consists of systematic
instruction, teaching and training by professional teachers. This consists of
the application of pedagogy and the development of curricula. In a liberal
eduction tradition, teachers draw on many different disciplines for their
lessons, including psychology, philosophy, information technology, linguistics,
biology, and sociology. Teachers in specialized professions such as
astrophysics, law or zoology may teach only in a narrow area, usually as
professors at institutions of higher learning. There is much specialist
instruction in fields of trade for those want specific skills, such as required
to be a pilot, for example. Finally, there is an array of educational
opportunity in the informal sphere- for this reason, society subsidizes
institutions such as museums and libraries. Informal education also includes
knowledge and skills learned and refined during the course of life, including
education that comes from experience in practicing a profession.
