Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions in your own words : 10 Philosophy of Education is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature, and ideals of education. It can be considered as a branch of both philosophy and education. Education can be defined as the teaching and learning of specific skills, and the importing of knowledge, judgement, and wisdom. It is something broader than the societal institution of education, we often speak of. Many educationalists consider it a weak and wooly field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be useful. But philosophers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given the area much thought and emphasis. Plato believed that talent and intelligence are not disturbed genetically and thus are found in children born to all classes. Aristotle emphasized the balancing aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature etc. Which he considered important.
