Abstract

Education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning environment and learning process that enables students to actively develop their potential. The essence of education includes the development of spiritual aspects, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed by individuals, communities, nations, and countries. Education is not merely a transfer of knowledge, but a process of cultivating humans to become whole and dignified individuals. Furthermore, the essence of education is closely related to lifelong human development and social interactions that shape individuals into complete human beings. Education is also considered a tool for coping with life changes and improving the quality of individuals and society. Simply put, education is the process of transforming and shaping humans from a natural state to a cultured and civilised state based on integrated social, religious, and scientific values.
