Education exist in three forms/types:

• Formal
• Informal
• Non-formal

Formal Education

This refers to the type of learning that takes place in a school or in a formal manner. This starts from the elementary to the secondary school and goes further.

Informal Education

This is the type of education that is done in an informal way and that are beyond academics. An example of this is a parent teaching a child how to prepare a meal or to do some chores.

Non-formal Education

This involves skill development, literacy education. It is consistently provided to develop a particular skill in a person.

Why is it important to a child?

The importance of educating a child can never be overemphasize.
A child's future depends on education.

Education helps children to think and analyze things carefully.

It also helps to improve their imaginations and thoughts.
It is important for children to have good education since they will replace adults in the future and will need to put their brains to practice. It is education that will help boost their self confidence and to believe in themselves.

At what age should a child start learning?

This is quite a tough question to answer.

I believe a child can start learning at any point. Even an unborn child can learn some certain things. A newly born child can observe and learn some things in the surrounding. This is categorized as the informal education.

It is suggested that a child should be sent for formal education from the age of 3. At this point the child can be able to comprehend information from the teacher and these ones should be taught in a fun way.

What is done in your locality to embrace modern education?

Children are taught things that are related to the current happenings in the society. They are taught useful information that can be applied in practical life.

Practicals are now conducted in schools and that helps children to see how what they are learning can be applied in practical life.

Though our schools here haven't started educating kids in cryptocurrency. It is vital for these lessons to be introduced so that the kids can keep up to the world's trend.

Conclusion

Every child deserves to be educated in the best way. No wonder in some countries, there is a law that it is a must for a child to be educated. It is even the child's human right.
An educated child will make the parents and the society proud in the future.
