用英语解释一下。。。

谁能用英语帮我解释一下liberal education？？？非常感谢！！！

Answer 1

Liberal education means a wide range of education that empowers individuals with broad knowledge and transferable skills, and a stronger sense of values, ethics, and civic engagement. Those are the classes that a student must take before he/she declares his/her major at a college or university. It is defined by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU).

In the U.S. and many western countries, students entering universities or colleges do not choose their majors upon entering the schools. Instead, they take a variety of classes that expand their overall knowledge for the first two years of college. These classes are called liberal education.

基础教育（在香港称为“通识教育”）。指的是大学一、二年级在选专业前所修的课程。在欧美，一般进入大学后并不是马上就选专业的，而是在上了两年的综合基础课后才决定专业。
