Information Booster:
·
Formal Education (A-II): Refers to the
hierarchically structured, chronologically graded educational system running from primary school through university. It is directly
controlled, planned, and regulated by the state or designated accreditation agencies with specific learning objectives, fixed curricula, strict attendance rules, and institutional evaluation.
·
Non-formal Education (B-IV): Encompasses any
consciously organized, flexible, and patterned instructional activity operating alongside or outside the formal framework. It focuses on imparting
specific skills, vocational training, or target values to specific groups (e.g., short-term professional workshops, adult literacy drives, or skill development programs).
·
Open University (C-I): A specialized distance education system established to offer
flexible, accessible higher education to working-class individuals, adults, and geographically isolated learners who missed out on traditional formal educational facilities or cannot attend full-time regular classes.
·
Informal Education (D-III): Represents the
truly lifelong, unstructured learning process that happens naturally
outside of a standard school setting. Individuals acquire knowledge, attitudes, values, and practical skills through
daily life experiences, family interactions, peer conversations, media, and environmental exposure.
