Education encourages the student to question and to become involved in the process of learning.Indoctrination allows of no questioning and no involvement in the process by the student other than of being an 'empty vessel to be filled'
 
nothing, they both seek obedience, dont confuse educating with teaching.you cant learn anything from an 'education'. if you want to learn you must find out for your self.
 
education is something where you can learn from. whereas indoctrination is you have to believe what you are taught or else.
 
Indoctrination is not supposed to invite critical examinatin. Education, supposedly encourages it.
 
Education teaches you how to think, and then presents you with what other people have found to be true, and lets you then decide.Indoctrination tells you what to think, and straying from what you are told is not allowed.
 
Education teaches what is generally widely accepted. Indoctrination teaches a viewpoint that the majority of the world disagrees with.
 
It depends on where you go to school I suppose... when I interned, that was indoctrination. I was expected to follow the footsteps of my mentor, and no deviation was allowed. Education allows a bit more freedom to explore, but I learned a LOT more being interned than I did when I was given just basic information. That's sort of my take on it. And of course after my internship or when I wasn't on the clock I could deviate all I want, study what I want, and question what I wanted. But one required a more strict following.
 
Education is something you do by your own choosing in order to gain true knowledge about things.Indoctrination is forced upon you by others to prevent you from attaining true knowledge.
 
from what i remember of mine, education presents itself as a key to more profound knowledge and understanding, it encourages looking at a thing from several angles, under the microscope, through all sorts of different filters. for instance, during one of my literature classes we were asked to look at a particular text from a marxist point of view, from a feminist point of view as well as from a darwinian perspective. i don't remember my bible study teacher encouraging us to consider anything at all through the prism of another faith.
