Teaching does not consist of teaching the material only, it include other subjects. For example teaching language also passes on the culture of the society. Education of the young begins at infancy which contains physical activities and then language.
The early at-home education may contain religious or spiritual aspects as well.
The culture of more industrialized world generally divides the levels of education for their young into several specific groupings. Primary education which deals wit more fundamental knowledge topics.
Beyond the initial required educational levels are the university levels of education.
Besides the academic fields of education, there are numerous trade schools that are designed to train individuals in the intricacies of a specific trade or occupation.
These schools focus on one area or career.
Wit the availability of scholarships and loans, a solid education in within the range of most citizens.
Truly Education is a process that the active mind will continue throughout their entire life as a new experience added to the wealth of knowledge that can be obtained.

Technology Planning: It’s more Than Computers
Dr. Larry S Anderson
Summarized by
Suhail Naaman
Introduction:
If we want to focus on technology planning and all its potentials, we have to take one step back from technology itself, because technology planning is a very broad subject. As some planners say the technology planning has a noun and a verb, in which the noun refers to the planning document itself, while the verb refers to the kinds of actions, attitudes, and results that are involved in the process.
More than Computers? How?
Our technology plan should be about
· People
· Process
· Interaction between people and process
Technology planning seeks progress continually.
Conclusion:
As a result technology planning is more than boxes, wires, hardware. It is the people, process and the interaction between these two components.
