Educated population
In the broadest sense of the word, education is a process or product of the formation of the mind, character and physical abilities of an individual. Since in a person the experience of one individual does not disappear after its death, but is accumulated in society due to the developed mind of people and their ability to communicate, the accumulation of experience has allowed such a phenomenon as culture to form. Culture is not the experience of one individual, but the experience of society as a whole. Education is the process of transferring this knowledge accumulated in culture to new generations. Education is purposefully carried out by society through educational institutions: kindergartens, schools, colleges, universities and other institutions, which, however, does not exclude the possibility of self-education, especially in connection with the wide availability of the Internet.
In the ordinary sense, education, among other things, implies and, in general, is limited to the teaching and upbringing of students by the teacher. It can consist of teaching reading, writing, mathematics, history and other sciences. Teachers in narrow specialties such as astrophysics, law, geography or zoology can only teach these subjects. The specialization of education increases as students get older. There is also the teaching of vocational skills such as driving. In addition to education in specialized institutions, there is also self-education, for example, through the Internet, reading, visiting museums or personal experience. The level of general and special education is determined by the requirements of production, the state of science, technology and culture, as well as social relations.
Even Pythagoras noted that “education can be shared with another person and, having given it to another, not lose it himself.” “In general, it is education that distinguishes people from animals, Greeks from barbarians, free-borns from slaves, philosophers from ordinary people,” he believed.

The right to education is now confirmed by national and native legal acts, for example, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1966.
Awareness of the possibilities of using compulsory education as a means of depersonalizing a person in a democratic society has caused the development of a movement for non-state and even family education, for a greater proportion of courses on responsible student choice (with the participation of parents and teachers) in the curriculum of secondary schools (that is, after graduating from primary school) , support for self-education, continuous education throughout the entire active life of a person (as the educational need arises), out-of-school, distance and additional education, etc.
