Education   is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting   knowledge   or fostering   skills   and   character traits . These aims may include the development of   understanding ,   rationality ,   kindness , and   honesty . Various researchers emphasize the role of   critical thinking   in order to distinguish education from   indoctrination . Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the   mental states   and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education   originated   as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today,   educational goals   increasingly encompass new ideas such as the   liberation of learner...

Ketoprak  is an  Indonesian  food  vegetarian  dish from  Jakarta , consisting of  tofu ,  vegetables ,  rice cake , and  rice vermicelli  served in  peanut sauce . The etymology of the name  ketoprak  is actually closely related to  Javanese folk-drama . During the  Great Depression  in 1930 - 1931, ketoprak viewership was dwindling. Djojosoekarno, a member of Javanese ketoprak troupe "Langenhardjo" in  Jakarta , started selling a dish made of  tofu  mixed with  bean sprouts  and  sweet soy sauce  on stalls for extra income. Due to his popularity as ketoprak performer, customers usually referred to him as "Bang Ketoprak" (lit. "Mr. Ketoprak") and as time passes, his specialty dish is known as ketoprak on itself. taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoprak_(dish)
