Formal Education, Non-Formal Education, Informal Education

The Following types of Education are Explained Below:

Formal Education: This is the carefully structured education given in an institution. These institutions are schools , technical colleges, universities etc. with the growing complexities of the society special institutions were established to impart new knowledge , attitudes and skills. Syllabus , time table , a set of teachers are essential features of the formal educational system. Usually the formal school is characterized by three levels, namely primary level ,secondary level and tertiary level. The formal system of education goes hand to hand with social , economic , political and cultural needs of a particular country. The pre – planned targets will have to be achieved within a particular period of time. Normally educational achievement of the student is measured by examinations. Awarding certificates also a common feature of formal educational system.

Non-formal Education: It is usually provided to out-of-school children and adolescents as well as young adults who, for some reason, did not have an opportunity to attend school. Others dropped out before a sustainable literacy level was achieved. It also include much of professional and vocational education, adult literacy training, agriculture , family planning , aesthetic activities , lifelong learning etc. There is more flexibility as to the places and methods of learning . The places may be community centres , temples, school buildings after school hours or vacation etc...

Informal education: This may be the oldest education system. Informal education takes place outside schools and is mediated by resources and resource people in the community. In the case of informal education there is no attempt at structuring it. Much of the learning that goes in almost unintentional. Here the child learns from his family, friends, experience and environment. Informal education is not associated with awards and certificates. But its effects tend to be more permanent, because informal education occurs its own course , at its own pace by its own means throughout each person’s life. Informal education is a life long process. The agents of informal education are home , neighbours , peer groups ,societies and mass media. The informal education continues to add to a person’s knowledge , attitudes and skills throughout his entire life time. One would noticed that from the ancient times , the most forceful contributing factor for man’s achievement has been the informal education.

This is what ocean acidification is doing to creatures in the Arctic

Image
The Arctic ocean acidification is much worse than we thought. As we emit more and more carbon dioxide, the effects are being felt not just above ground, but also underwater.  A marine snail shows damage to its shell (jagged line radiating from center) due to acidic ocean waters. Image credits: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Ocean acidification is often regarded as the unseen twin of climate warming. It’s unseen because we humans don’t spend much of our time underwater, but for the creatures that do, it’s a catastrophe. When carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, a part of it gets absorbed by the oceans, producing carbonic acid. This acid essentially dissolves the shell of marine creatures such as mollusks, sea urchins, starfish, and corals, making it difficult or impossible for them to survive. Researchers have already identified this process, as well as the way ripples it down the entire oceanic food chain. But according to a new study, it’s even worse than w...

A record 53.6 million tons of e-waste was produced last year, says UN

Image
There's sign of decline in the near future. From flat-screen TVs to cellphones, humans generated 53.6 million metric tons of  electronic waste  last year, almost two million metric tons more than the previous year. Only 17% of the waste was recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills, incinerated or just unaccounted for. Electronic and electrical goods such as computers, refrigerators, and kettles have gradually become indispensable in modern societies, making lives easier in many ways. But they can also have toxic chemicals, and a growing production of waste is damaging the environment and human health. The figures for last year, reported by the  United Nation’s Global E-waste Monitor , are equivalent to 7.3 kilograms of electronic waste for every man, woman and child on Earth, though the use is concentrated in wealthier countries. The amount of e-waste is growing three times faster than the world’s population Citizens of northern European countries produced the most ...

What are the benefits of using CBD topicals

Image
Because topical CBD interacts with the body differently from products taken orally, effects could vary wildly. CBD (cannabidiol) products are all the rage right now, with countless companies and merchandisers offering a wide variety of options. While edibles are usually the products of choice, some prefer topical CBD products to avoid gastrointestinal problems or to reap potential pain reduction effects from local application to specific body parts, such as a sore shoulder or ankle. It is, however, extremely probable that there are significant differences in outcomes between oral and topical administration of CBD products.  What’s CBD and what is it good for? Credit: Phyto. CBD is one of the many compounds found in  Cannabaceae  plants, or, as most people call them, cannabis plants. It can be extracted from both the marijuana and hemp plants; however, most US states require that CBD oil products come from hemp and do not contain more than 0.03%  THC . CBD oil does no...
