ABSTRACT:
Informal education has a special importance in human life. Informal education is a continuous process during the age-based stages of human life such as childhood, adolescence, adulthood, youth and adulthood. In the original Indian education system, education was given through the informal method. In the Gurukul tradition of education, education given through the informal method has been a major part of education. The socialization that a child learns from natural events starting from birth is informal education. For example, when a child falls from the steps, he gets to learn how to get off the steps, ‘When food is hot, it burns when touched, it should be eaten when it is cold’. Walking, running, eating, natural actions etc. are learned by the child based on experience, which is informal education. There are two main stages of education: formal and informal. of these two stages, school education is formal, but during school education, a child also learns formally. Here, if we try to examine the explanations and definitions of some experts to understand formal education, they are as follows.
