Education can be defined as the process of conscious and active acquisition, transmission, mediation and formation of a system of knowledge and / or skills of a person. In addition to students, the active presence of a lecturer or teacher is an integral part of education.
Traditional schools vs. online education
Benches and chairs made of wood or plastic, wooden or plastic tables and rooms full of seven to fifteen year old people, located in stone institutions with a large inscription: SCHOOL.
