When I think of the word education, it brings picture of a school and classroom in my mind. I think it is same for many others. But think of the transcend-ing that had gone into the process over hundreds and thousands of years to put that kind of conditioning on present human mind. And, the extraordinary guile and intelligence on behalf of human to bring education from a purely one-to-one and primarily experiential phenomenon to a generalized & standardized, one-to-many experience that all human-lings are expected to go through during their formative years. Simply fascinating! Of-course inventions like fire, wheel, agriculture or domestication of animals are the fundamental stepping stones those made this civilization happen, but mass-ification of education is no less important in this journey from the caves to the present day glass & steel skyscrapers. One can simply get awed by the accomplishment.
