Education in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another. Teachers in educational institutions direct the education of students and might draw on many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. This process is sometimes called schooling when referring to the education of youth. Teachers in specialized professions such as astrophysics, law, or zoology may teach only a certain subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher learning. There is also education in fields for those who want specific vocational skills, such as those required to be a pilot. In addition there is an array of education possible at the informal level, e.g., at museums and libraries, with the Internet, and in life experience. The right to education has been described as a basic human right: since 1952, Article 2 of the first Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights obliges all signatory parties to guarantee the right to education. At world level, the United Nations' International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 guarantees this right under its Article 13. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by Found-1 - Thu Apr 17 16:38:30 2008 How much education is required to be qualified for Immigration to Canada? Q. This is in relation to another question I asked. Under the categories, Provincial Nominee, Skilled Worker, and the new Canadian Experience Class, what is the least amount of education required for Immigration to Canada? Some people keep saying you need to have at least a 4 year degree or a baccalaureate etc to be qualified, yet the Canada Immigration website says you can qualify with less (2 year diploma, etc). So I'm just curious what should I believe and does anyone else have an idea of what the least amount of education is required? Asked by Jacob J - Thu Sep 11 19:01:38 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. You can actually qualify with no diploma under provincial nominee. Alberta and BC have semi-skilled options under their PNP's so if you have experience as a bell hop, hotel room cleaner, kitchen helper, fast food worker and some others, you are in. You would only need a job offer from said province doing one of the jobs listed and apply for temporary work permit. Once you are working, you can apply to the PNP with the help of your employer and get permanent residency. For skilled worker, you apply under a points system. You can get points for education, work experience, language skills, age and other things. You are ok to have fewer points in the education category if you have a lot of points in the other ones.

Q. I'm interested in getting an outsider's take on this question. Every time there is an OECD survey, Spain, the 7th or 8th largest economy in the world always comes really low down in the ranking. In attainment in reading, science and mathematics. We are constantly down in the 20's ranks near Greece, Portugal and Italy. Every new government seems to want to change the education policy of the previous one and in addition regional politicians openly defy national government policy if they happen to be of another political party. We have the money to have a much better education system, so why don't we? Asked by sunshineon69 - Thu Nov 27 09:12:32 2008 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Honestly? Voting another Party on the next elections. But even so I think it's not possible to improve it rapidly. In fact, Spanish politics are rubbish! (whatever Party!). I've graduated on the University recently but I don't think I'm trained at all. I think that the knowledge that the University teaches is not enough. The case of the elementary school and High School is even worse! It's sad! I'm not particularly proud of that, what a pity!
