Good day everyone, I still remain excited to be a member of steemit. My write-up today is about formal education. Before proceeding definition of education must be stated.
DEFINITION
Education is defined as the process of imparting knowledge and skills either formally or informally.
TYPES OF EDUCATION
-Formal education: This is the type of education in which a person learns and acquire knowledge in an official serene environment which could be a school premises.
-Informal education: This is a type of education which is not imparted by a school or colleges. It does not require a pattern for learning. A person can learn anywhere in formal education.
But my point of view today is mainly emphasized on formal education. Formal education is the most important type of education to acquire knowledge which is power. In most cases, if an individual do not pass through formal education he or she will not be welcome in some organisations. Formal education provides a certificate which is a main key for employment opportunities in the best organisation of our choice.
CHARACTERISTICS OF FORMAL EDUCATION
-Learning in a classroom.
-It provides a university degree or School certificate which has a chronological grade system.
-A child is taught by professional teachers.
-Tuition fees are paid.
-It has as standard syllabus for each subjects which must be complete with a specific period of academic session.
ADVANTAGES OF FORMAL EDUCATION
-It helps in a systematic and stimulated learning process.
- It ensure an organised educational model and up-to-date course content.
-It provides easy access to job opportunities.
-Student acquires knowledge from trained professional teachers.
-Examinations are given in order to advance a student to the next phase of learning.
DISADVANTAGES OF FORMAL EDUCATION
-It is a costly and rigid education as compared to other forms of learning.
-Student gets bored due to the long wait for an academic session to conclude.
In my own opinion, formal education is very important before the consideration of other forms of education because it leads to a better living in life.
CONCLUSION
As parents, we should try as much as possible to consider formal education as the first priority in the life of our children because it teaches them how to learn and process information systematically which makes them successful in life.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate.
