As far as historian's can tell, education has made this world a survival of the fittest. Only the strongest and smartest can prosper. Within the last 15 years in Georgia, legislation has been passed to ensure every child can take advantage of an education regardless of financial obstacles. Education in its purest form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way a child thinks, feels, or acts may be considered an educational experience in and of itself. Education is commonly divided into stages including lower school, middle school, upper school, college, and then graduate school. Around the world children are deprived of an education and this causes much controversy regarding weather or not foreign policy should involve education.
A right to education has been recognized by some governments. At the global level, Article 13 of the United Nations' 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes the right of everyone to an education. Although education is compulsory in most places up to a certain age, attendance at school often isn't, and a minority of parents choose home-schooling, e-learning or similar for their children.
