What is Academic (Education)?

"Academic" Education is generally defined as education that has learning as its primary purpose. Some institutions and educational systems have equated academics with "university " but this is not always the case. This differs from Vocational education which has a primary focus on "preparing to perform in a workplace"; or "life education" which may have a purpose of preparing to live better. These different education approaches have their origins very much in the past, but are still (unfortunately) often adhered to by many existing educational systems. The modern world has however changed dramatically and the rate of change continues to accelerate. It would stand to reason that these "old" concepts for differentiating types of education need review, if not outright change
