Systems of formal education

Education systems are established to provide education and training, frequently for children and the young. A curriculum defines what students should know, understand and be capable to do as the result of education. A teaching profession delivers teaching which enables learning and a system of rules, policies, conduct exams, regulations, structures and funding enables teachers to teach to the best of their abilities. Sometimes education systems can be used to endorse doctrines or ideals as well as knowledge, which is known as social engineering. This can lead to political mistreatment of the system, particularly in totalitarian states and government.

Education is a broad concept, referring to all the experiences in which students can learn something. Instruction refers to the deliberate facilitating of learning toward identified goals, delivered either by an instructor or other forms. Teaching refers to the actions of a real live instructor planned to impart learning to the student. Training refers to learning with a view toward preparing learners with exact knowledge, skills, or abilities that can be applied immediately upon completion.

Shipping

Shipping is physical progression of transporting goods and cargo. Virtually every product ever made, buy, or sold has been exaggerated by shipping. Despite the many variables in shipped products and locations, there are only three basic types of shipments: land, air, and sea.

Land or "ground" shipping can be either by train or by truck. Trucking is easily the most well-liked form of shipping. Even in Air and Sea shipments, ground transportation is still required to take the product from its origin to the airport or seaport and then to its destination. Ground transportation is typically more reasonable than air shipments, but more expensive than shipping by sea. Trucks are also much faster than ships and rail but slower than planes.
Shipping can more usually refer to the transport of freight "shipments", independent of the mode of transport.
