Lesson 1:History of Extension Education

The basic concept of Extension as education

Education is the production of desirable changes in human behaviour. The desired change is in terms of knowledge-things known, attitudes-things felt and skill-things done either in all the three or one or two. Education is a process in which human behaviour is modified so as to be in closer agreement with some model or ideal determined by the values of society.
