What is formal, informal and non-formal education with examples.
Formal Education
1. Structured and organized
2. Takes place in schools, colleges, universities
3. Leads to recognized certifications/degrees
4. Curriculum-based, teacher-led instruction
5. Assessment and evaluation processes

Examples:
- Primary, secondary, and higher education
- Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. programs
- Vocational training programs

Advantages:
1. Structured learning environment

Disadvantages:
1. Time-consuming and inflexible scheduling
2. Limited accessibility for marginalized groups
Informal Education
1. Unstructured, spontaneous learning
2. Occurs through daily experiences, interactions
3. No formal certification or recognition
4. Self-directed, experiential learning
5. No predefined curriculum

- Learning from family, peers, and community
- Online tutorials, blogs, and podcasts
- Workshops, conferences, and seminars
Advantages:
1. Flexible and self-paced learning
2. Cost-effective and accessible
3. Real-world experience and practical skills
4. Personalized learning through interests
5. Social learning through interactions
6. Encourages curiosity and exploration

Disadvantages:
1. Lack of recognized certifications
2. Unstructured learning may lead to gaps
3. Limited access to resources and expertise
Non-Formal Education
1. Semi-structured, flexible learning
2. Takes place outside traditional classrooms
3. May lead to certifications or recognition
4. Focuses on specific skills or interests
5. Often community-based or workplace-based

Examples:
- Online courses, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)
- Community centers, libraries, and museums
- Professional development workshops
- Vocational training programs
Advantages:
1. Flexible and accessible learning
2. Practical skills and hands-on experience
