• Encourage non-formal, informal and indigenous,
learning systems, as well as self-learning, independent
and out-of-school study programs particularly those
that respond to the community needs.
• What is then Non-formal education?
Non-formal education refers to education that occurs
outside the formal school system. Non-formal education
is often used interchangeably with terms such as
community education, lifelong education and second-
change education.
 What is the difference between informal and non-
formal education?

Non-formal learning refers to learning through a program but it is

not usually evaluated and does not lead to certification. Informal
learning on the other hand, is resulting from daily work-related,
family or leisure activities.
Examples of non-learning:
• It typically takes place in community settings: swimming classes
for small children, sports clubs of various kinds for all ages,
reading groups, debating societies, amateur choirs, orchestras,
and etc.
• Informal education may be a parent teaching a child
how to prepare a meal or ride a bicycle, also by reading
many books, magazines and etc.
 Education is a gradual process which brings positive changes in the human life and behavior. It can also be define as a ”process of acquiring knowledge through study
or imparting the knowledge by way of instructions or some other practical procedures”.
