Education is defined as the process of socializing individuals by assimilating knowledge and learning the cultural ways of previous generations. The educational process produces intellectual, emotional, and social changes through a series of skills and values. For children, education promotes structured thought, forms of expression, sensory-motor maturation, and group integration. Formal education occurs in schools and teaches basic, academic, or trade skills, while informal education happens outside of schools through everyday interactions. Non-formal education includes adult education programs that teach literacy, basic skills, or job skills.
