Document Summary
Education: the formally organized institution structured to consistently transfer knowledge, skills and values. It picks up the socialization after the early formative years usually spent with the family and is more formal and systematic in structure. On the broad scale, it provides cultural transmission by instilling the cultural beliefs, values and accumulated knowledge of the society. Preliterate relied on oral tradition and informal education, a process of generally spontaneous training. There was an elaborate system of storytelling and ritual ceremonies. Preindustrial: a written language existed with a formal education system for the privileged. Early formal education in an academic setting with planned instruction and teachers began in greece and rome (the socrates, plato, aristotle). Industrial: during middle ages the catholic church oversaw the first colleges and universities. The renaissance and the industrial revolution created the education explosion demand, with focus on the three rs demanded by industrial expansion.
