San Isidro Elementary School celebrated the nationwide EDUCATION WEEK 2011

According to Alicia S. Bustos, et. al., Education is a social institution. It is a broad term that includes not only the effects of schooling, but also the more pervasive effects of childrearing practices, of parental life styles, home and family training, of television, magazines and other media of mass communication. It also encompasses the behavior, attitudes and values learned from friends, the church, political parties, social groups, and other work groups. It includes all the experiences from whom one learns and brings about changes in him.
