用法How to use 教育
教育 means "education" as a noun and "to educate" as a verb. As a noun it typically appears without a measure word in patterns like 接受教育、重视教育、教育水平 (one does not normally say 一个教育). As a verb it takes a person as object (教育孩子、教育学生) and refers to shaping someone's character or morals rather than teaching a school subject.
