Question- Which is the most acceptable definition of education according to you and why?

Answer -

Studying the definitions of education, it is clear that all Indian and western scholars have defined education from their own point of view and the definitions of all determine a different purpose of education. The one who saw education as he defined education in the same way. But in our opinion, the definition given by Aristotle is the most appropriate because Aristotle has written in his definition that - "Education creates a healthy mind in a healthy body."

He has clearly stated in his definition that education is that which creates a healthy mind in a healthy body. When a person’s health and mind remain healthy, then his physical development will also be good, in which he will be successful in achieving success in every sphere of life. Apart from this, some other prominent scholars have emphasized on physical health and it is absolutely true that a healthy mind is created in a healthy body and a person can get good education if he has a healthy mind. Thus, it can be said that the definition of education given by him is the most appropriate.
