education model, structured and administered according
to a given set of laws and norms, presenting a rather rigid
curriculum as regards objectives, content, and
methodology.
• Formal education is institutionalized, chronologically
graded and hierarchically structured education system,
running from lower primary school to the upper reaches of
the university, generally full time and sanctioned by the

that all people take part in, in their lives every day. It
covers activities like individual and personal
research on a subject or interests for themselves by
using books, libraries, informal trainers, the internet
or other resources.

the individuals seek or want to learn a specific skill.

without the learner realizing that he learned it.

Editor's Notes
Education also means helping people to learn how to do things and encouraging them to think about what they learn. It is also important for educators to teach ways to find and use information. Through education, the knowledge of society, country, and of the world is passed on from generation to generation.
Education in goes beyond what takes places within the four walls of the classroom. A child gets an education from his experiences outside the school as well as from those within on the basis of these factors. There are three main types of education, namely, Formal, Informal and Non-formal.
Republic Act 9155: The Governance Act of Basic Education 1. Formal Education/Basic Education - is the education intended to meet basic learning needs and which lays the foundation on which subsequent learning can be based.
Formal education is classroom-based, provided by trained teachers.
It refers to learning through a programme of instruction in an educational institution.
The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS])
Informal education is a general term for education outside of a standard school setting.
It is a lifelong process of learning by which every person acquires and accumulates knowledge, skills, attitudes and insights from daily experiences at home, at work, at play and from life itself.
Informal education is a wise, respectful and spontaneous process of cultivating learning. It works through conversation and exploration and enlargement of experiences
This needs and interest of the students are taken into consideration.
Because of the importance of the interests and needs of the students, this form of education meets the individual needs better.
Today it involves online education. Massive open online courses (MOOCs), offering large-scale interactive participation and open access through the World Wide Web or other network technologies, are recent developments in distance education.
A number of other terms (distributed learning, e-learning, online learning, etc.) are used roughly synonymously with distance education.
