What is Non Formal Education

-
In our previous lessons, we talked about what real education is and what formal education involves.

If you have not already read this begin here:
In this lesson, however, we want to look at what non-formal education involves.

Non-formal education is organized (even if it is only loosely organized), may or may not be guided by a formal curriculum. 

This type of education may be led by a qualified teacher or by a leader with more experience. 

Though it doesn’t result in a formal degree or diploma, non-formal education is highly enriching and builds an individual’s skills and capacities. 

Continuing education courses are an example for adults. Girl guides and boy scouts are an example for children. It is often considered more engaging, as the learner’s interest is a driving force behind their participation.


 Highlights

1. Flexible.

2. Life environment and learner oriented.

3. Diversified in content and method.

4. Non-authoritarian 

5. Built on learner participation.

6. It mobilizes local resources.

7. It enriches human and environmental potential.

How to Encourage Your Child to Love Learning

-

Ultimately, we want our kids to develop love for learning. A  passion  for learning is quite different from just studying to earn a grade or to please parents or teachers. Those who develop a  love  of learning at an early age continue the process throughout their lives and are generally more successful, interesting, and happier than those who don't. Most parents read to their young kids, which help encourage imagination, language, and an early love of learning. But not all children remain curious and inquisitive into adolescence. Alarmingly, studies have found that from third grade on, a child's enjoyment of learning drops continuously -- a phenomenon some researchers blame on the increasing focus on grades and report cards as kids get older. Younger children, on the other hand, learn for the sheer joy of it. You can do a lot now to help your child maintain this healthy attitude throughout school. To captivate a young mind, let your child do what comes naturally and

Have you ever been asked what really education is before?  May be it was from your son or from your daughter, or you may have asked that question yourself due to mere curiosity. Whatever the case may be, it is necessary and equally important to know what really education is and it impact on us. The word “educate” comes from the Latin word,   “ ducere ” meaning to draw out or lead. So education simply means to draw out or lead people to their potentials or gifts in life. What this means to me is that, a person (student), need to find out his/her gifts and then look for someone (teacher) who can draw that gifts out so to help him or her become a better person. In other words, an educator (teacher) must and should be able to find out a person's (student) gifts/potentials and draws out from them so to make them a better person. In most cases, you can identify a person's gifts by knowing their specific learning style.  You can learn more about how to ide
