What is an education?

Many people confuse training and education.  They are very different.

Training entails teaching an individual to do specific tasks within a
well defined parameter space, with no expectation that the person can
function (work) effectively if the situation falls outside of that for which they
were trained.

Education entails developing in an individual enough background
knowledge and critical thinking skills so that they can function (work)
effectively under unforeseen circumstances.

I personally feel that any institution providing a bachelors degree in
anything should strongly resist reducing any of those degrees to
simple training.  All bachelors degrees contain training, but they
must also educate.
