Description

Education is the transference of knowledge from kumu or expert to a haumana. Knowledge transference is an old practice, and the way that knowledge is taught has changed through the schools that were set up to teach things like writing and reading. One of the most famous schools is Lahainaluna, one of the first schools to be established in Hawaiʻi. Of this school it is said, “Ka ipukuki pioʻole o Kauaʻula” for the many Hawaiian leaders who were taught there. Today, there are many schools from preschool to universities, and is most often what we associate with education today.
