School Knowledge and Out- of-School Knowledge

The document discusses two types of knowledge: school knowledge, which is structured and taught within formal educational institutions, focusing on a regulated curriculum and specific competencies, and out-of-school knowledge, which is gained through informal experiences and community interactions without a predefined structure. School knowledge aims to prepare students for future career opportunities while out-of-school knowledge is self-driven and facilitated by various community sources. The contrast highlights the importance of both formal education and experiential learning in shaping a person's knowledge base.
