correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 41.

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has

been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between

schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no

limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on

a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of

informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people

arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a

certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a

stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People receive

education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a

process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's

entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little

from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time,

take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and

so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding

of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high

school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political

problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and

undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
