The thesis itself becomes part of the big knowledge pool and improves the wisdom available.
Education, at least from my point of view, is more you do in schools and/or by learning. More something like: one learns how to do something. How to multiply, what is and how to do analysis or geometry, what happens in a flower, what are the basic components of a cell, basic elements and reactions in chemistry, principls of mechanics/optics/electronics. I think if one looks from a single users, then everything could be put under education because you learn always or you are lost. > Surely what I am saying is not exhaustive.
