Education is the study of how human beings teach, learn and develop knowledge, values, skills and character qualities. The survival and success of societies, groups and individuals hinges on effective education. Education takes place, either formally or informally, from the time one is born until the moment he or she dies. Study in this field is virtually unlimited and can include infant care, child psychology and adolescent education, preschool, elementary and secondary education, adult and parent education, education of the elderly, education of those who are handicapped and disadvantaged, military and employee education and so on. A few major specializations are early childhood, middle childhood, adolescent/young adult, adult and continuing, special, educational administration and supervision, preschool, guidance and counseling, testing and evaluation, business, industrial arts and vocational/technical.
