Abstract

The essence of education is a fundamental issue in education, and the question it needs to answer is “what is education?”. The answers of educators to this question directly influence their answers to other educational questions. All educational scholars have one way or the other difference in their views on the specific problems of education, the basic reason of which is that they hold different views on the nature of education. The question on the value of education is actually the question of “what is the use of education”, and the temptation to clarify the significance of educational activities to individuals, society, countries, human beings and other relevant stakeholders.
