ABSTRACT
Learning is a normal and natural psychological process that occurs at all ages and in all kinds of settings. Education is a set of circumstances that facilitate learning. Formal education is deliberately organized to foster learning. There was a time when the young learnt work and life skills by watching adults performing them, and when it would have been incomprehensible to have talked about education in any other terms. Learners served masters of a craft or trade, watched them at work, helped with manual tasks, participated in the simpler aspects of the job, practised the necessary skills, and in this way slowly acquired appropriate knowledge and techniques, as well as associated attitudes, values and self-image. Conventional education systems often impede development of skills and attitudes necessary for lifelong learning.
