izglītība

== Latvian == === Etymology === Coined by Atis Kronvalds in 1869, from his earlier coinage izglītot (“to cultivate, to educate”) (from iz- +‎ glītot (“to cultivate”), q.v.), both calques of German ausbilden (“to educate”), Ausbildung (“education, formation”). Later on (1871), Kronvalds gave preference to another coinage, dailēt, for the sense of “to educate,” reserving glītot, izglītot for the sense of “to civilize,” but the broader meaning had already become popular. In 1899, R. Kaudzīte attacked in his writings the forms with initial iz-, to which he preferred forms without it, but in vain. === Noun === izglītība f (5th declension) education, formation (knowledge acquired by learning, usually at school) vidusskolas izglītība ― secondary (lit. middle school) education augstskolas izglītība ― higher (lit. university) education profesionāli tehniskā izglītība ― professional technical education, formation politiskā izglītība ― political education, formation iegūt augstāko izglītību ― to acquire a higher education cilvēks ar plašu izglītību ― a person with a broad, extensive education education, teaching (official institutions, measures that exist for the teaching of children) izglītības sistēma ― education system izglītības ministrija ― ministry of education izglītības nodaļas vadītājs ― the head of the department of education izglītības darbs ― educational work atvēlēt līdzekļus izglītībai ― to devote resources to education tiesības uz izglītību augstskolā ― the right to a university education ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== audzināšana === References ===
