EDUCATION
Education is a gradual process which brings positive changes in
human life and behaviour.
Education is the transmission of knowledge, skills, and character
traits.
It’s also a teaching-learning process.
Education is both the act of teaching knowledge to others and
the act of receiving knowledge from someone else.
THE TYPES OF EDUCATION
There are three types of education:
1. Formal Education
2. Informal Education
3. Non-formal education
1. FORMAL EDUCATION
This is also known as Formal Learning.
It usually takes place within the premises of the school.
It refers to the basic academic knowledge that a child learns in a formal
manner.
This continues from an elementary school to secondary school and further on
to colleges.
Such an education is provided by specially qualified teachers who are
efficient enough with the art of instruction.
Examples: Learning in a classroom, school grading/certification, college,
and university degrees. Planned education of different subjects having a
proper syllabus acquired by attending the institution.

DISADVANTAGES OF FORMAL
EDUCATION
Sometimes, brilliant students get bored because of the long tenure
of academic sessions.
Exams and grades can sometimes lead to stress and anxiety.
It is costly and rigid.
An unprofessional and non-standard education system may also
cause wastage of time and money.
2. INFORMAL EDUCATION
This is the type of education wherein a parent is teaching a child things that
are beyond academics.
People can also get informal education through books or educational
websites.
This is an education that is not derived in schools through a proper learning
method.
It is an experience that an individual garners by undergoing regular practice
and observing others.
Examples: Teaching the child some basics such as numeric characters or
personality traits, learning a mother tongue, preparing a meal, riding a
bicycle, performing certain extracurricular activities, etc.

ADVANTAGES OF

come from anywhere and
everywhere.

span.

learning.
DISADVANTAGES OF

media platforms.

learners.

public and private domains.

generally a kind of skill development.

obtained.
DISADVANTAGES OF NON-

professional or a trained teacher to impart non-formal education.

development.

institutions.
