Education is the act of learning things around us. Its goal is to help students deal with problems and reach balance in every aspect of their lives. Every human being has the right to education, thus every child should go to school appropriately for their age. Quality education depends on health, environment, curriculum content, process of teaching and the outcomes.

PL

Edukacja jest aktem uczenia się rzeczy wokół nas. Jej celem jest pomoc uczniom w radzeniu sobie z problemami i osiągnięciu równowagi w każdym aspekcie ich życia. Każda istota ludzka ma prawo do nauki, dlatego każde dziecko powinno uczęszczać do szkoły w odpowiednim wieku. Jakość edukacji zależy od zdrowia, środowiska, treści programowych, procesu nauczania i wyników.
