Is teaching and educating inseparable?

In my exploration of the relationship between teaching and educating, I've found that they are indeed inseparable. Teaching is the act of imparting knowledge or skills, while educating goes beyond to foster understanding and wisdom. Without teaching, educating is impossible as there's no transmission of knowledge. Similarly, teaching without the goal of educating can be incomplete and ineffective. So, in my view, these two processes are intertwined and crucial for holistic learning.
