Department of education
Education Administration & Departments. Over the course of human history education has appeared in many formalized and informal forms. Major thinkers have always recognized the educational value of intellectual exploration and of concrete experimentation. Teachers have worked within schools of thought, cults, monasteries, and other types of organizations to shape desired convictions, knowledge, and behavior for society's youth. Early philosophical and religious leaders instructed their disciples through informal organizations. In the 20th century major advances in education occurred throughout the world.
