How Important is Education?

Education is sometimes still interpreted as something that is less important and is still underestimated. Previously, the notion of education itself was the learning of knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people that are passed down from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. Education often takes place under the guidance of others, but it is also possible to be self-taught. Education starts from the moment a person is born until he dies. But, there is also an opinion that says that education begins before humans are born, namely when they are still in their mother's womb. Education can be formal and non-formal. Formal education is education whose process is tied to certain institutions such as schools and training courses. While non-formal education is education which in practice is not tied to any institution, occurs naturally and usually and is obtained from everyday experience. The influence of education is actually very influential on life, but there are still many who misunderstand the meaning of education.
