Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, belief and habits.You can see few bible reference in this context.(Ecc.7:12) "For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it."
(Prov.9:10) "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy one is insight." (16:16) "How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver." (18:15)"An intelligent mind acquires knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." So the education and getting knowledge leads to the brain development of a child.
Did you know that people who go on studying and are open to newer experiences in life live longer?. A study of the genes that underpin longevity has found that education leads to a longer life, with almost a year added for each year a student spends behind studying.
Scientist at a UK-based university analysed genetic information from more than 6,00,000 people alongside records of their parents' lifespan. Lifestyle choices are influenced to a certain extent by our DNA. The researchers were able to work out which have the greatest influence on lifespan. Their method was designed to rule out the chances that any observed associations could be caused by a separate, linked factor. This enabled them to pinpoint exactly which lifestyle factors cause people to live longer,or shorter lives.
The study also identified two new DNA differences that affect lifespan-the first, in a gene that affects blood cholesterol levels and reduces lifespan by around eight months. The second, in a gene linked to immune system that adds around half a year to life expectancy.
Data was drawn from 25 separate population studies from Europe, Australia and America. Professor Jim Wilson, from the University said "The power of big data and genetics allow us to compare the effect of different behaviours and diseases in terms of months and year of life lost or gained and to distinguish between mere association and causal effect."
