An education system is the organised framework of formal instruction and learning practices and processes intended to increase knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a group of people. Following the principles of global values of equity, democracy and sustainability, an education system is structured around the needs, interests, and abilities of an individual and strives to develop the necessary knowledge and capacities for an individual to reach their full potentials within a society. Along with providing a tool for acquiring knowledge and developing skills, an effective education system aims to equip students to understand and respond to the complex challenges in their environment.
