Education is too big a topic

Education is too big a topic covering too vast areas of multitude of disciplines involving many facets, multiple dimensions and dynamics. 

So, no one can say with axiomatic certitude that one particular thing is education much less how it can be and must be imparted.

I have been reading on the topic what is education from Swami Vivekananda to JK to Ivan Ilich deschooling society to practical methodologies of Glenn Domain etc.

What passes of as education?

What is feasible to be imparted as an educational package?

What purpose is mass literacy intended for ( which all of us will know when we read evolution of education as a chapter in the wonderful book 'evolution of everything')? 

Outcome oriented academic qualifications cannot be operated as one man show like a siddha vaidya system ( I am not saying it is either good or bad) but needs to be systematically and institutionally administrated.

It is easy to do tall talking and over philosophize and downgrade existing systems. It is good for film dialogues. So, people who are for generations into film world will have their frames of references limited by such inherited deficiencies.

However, those seriously involved in the activity of imparting education must factor various parameters to ensure that education provides or equips one to have a better livelihood as well as enable one to live life as a nice human being.
