Education is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses the transmission of knowledge, skills, and character traits. It occurs in various forms, including formal, non-formal, and informal education, and is divided into levels such as early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary education. The aims of education are disputed, with some arguing it should focus on personal development, while others emphasize its role in preparing individuals for the workforce. With a rich history, education has evolved over time, influenced by philosophers such as [[plato|Plato]] and [[john-dewey|John Dewey]]. Today, education is a vital component of modern society, with organizations like [[unicef|UNICEF]] and [[unesco|UNESCO]] working to improve access to quality education worldwide. According to [[wikidata|Wikidata]], education is a branch of science, a topic, and a service type, with parts including educational activity, learning, teaching, and self-education. The education sector is also influenced by technological advancements, with online learning platforms like [[coursera|Coursera]] and [[udemy|Udemy]] changing the way we learn. For instance, the [[khan-academy|Khan Academy]] provides free online courses and resources for informal learning, while the [[code-org|Code.org]] initiative aims to increase access to computer science education.
