Formal education is regulated by law. There is a plan behind the Education Act, under which people are trained professionally. Certificates or diplomas or various degrees are awarded after going through various stages.
Non-formal education
It is a form of education that is intentional and systematic, but it is outside the formal realm. Therefore, there is no law and it is not regulated by the government sector. It can be identified by the certificate, but it has no professional value. Non-formal education is for life.
It is given in the social field instead of in educational institutions, for example, when parents teach their child values. This is the thing that matters most historically. As such, it is a form of education that continues throughout life, even when you are not familiar with it.
