Education
is defined as a process of receiving or giving systematic instructions, especially at a school or university. Besides, education involves teaching students various subjects, or being taught. At present, when tendencies of world integration and globalization have become apparent distinctly, when global problems solving by humanity depends on joint and coordinative efforts of all people, the matters of reconsideration of existing national paradigms of education have come up. The world crisis in all spheres of human life is tagged after educational crisis and the novel mission of education has a facesaving formula.
Education is powerful means of not only intellectual abilities but also spiritual, emotional-sensitive sides of individuals, programming their development and life way. Of course, education is not a panacea, not a key to solve all problems but means provided harmonious and genuine individual development (taken from J. Delora‘s report, the Chairperson of the UNESCO International Commission on education for the XXI century).
If the end of education is individual excellence, we are at once led to ask how does an individual‘s life develop, and the answer immediately brings back all the social references and claims that the doctrine of self-realization seems for a moment to banish. So, the reply must be that selves can develop only in accordance with their own nature and that their nature is social. Thus, education aims to bring up a generation in the spirit of peace and cultural dialogue, cultural development of an individual who respects human rights and freedom, realizing global relationship between nations and contributing to mutual understanding, tolerance and friendship between nations, race and religious groups, to be ready for problem-solving in the local society and in the whole world.
