Noun

[edit]

education (countable and uncountable, plural educations)

1. (uncountable) The process of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment. Synonyms: see Thesaurus:education
   • 2013 July 19, Mark Tran, “Denied an education by war”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 6, page 1:One particularly damaging, but often ignored, effect of conflict on education is the proliferation of attacks on schools[…]as children, teachers or school buildings become the targets of attacks. Parents fear sending their children to school. Girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence.
   Good education is essential for a well-run society.
2. (countable) Facts, skills and ideas that have been learned, especially through formal instruction.
   • 2006 Feb. 17, Graham Linehan, The IT Crowd, Season 1, Episode 4: Nuh-nuh-doin'-duh... Nuh-nuh-doin'-duh... We don't need no education...Yes, you do. You've just used a double negative.
   • 2013 June 7, Joseph Stiglitz, “Globalisation is about taxes too”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 188, number 26, page 19:It is time the international community faced the reality: we have an unmanageable, unfair, distortionary global tax regime. […] It is the starving of the public sector which has been pivotal in America no longer being the land of opportunity – with a child's life prospects more dependent on the income and education of its parents than in other advanced countries.
   He has had a classical education. The educations our children receive depend on their economic status.
3. (now rare) Upbringing, rearing.
   • 1861, E. J. Guerin, Mountain Charley, page 23:I found them [my children] all I could wish and progressing rapidly under the truly maternal care of the kind Sisters who cared for their education.
