traditional Vs non-formal education
I decided to talk about non-formal education because in my opinion it is very important nowadays. The term formal education refers to the structured educational system provided by the state for children or students. Non-formal education refers to education which takes place outside of the formally organized school. Among the first questions that a young college graduate in asked during a job interview is if you have experience. For those who focused only on the study, the answer is negative. But there are alternatives that can gain experience, one of them being non-formal education.
Nowadays, many children focus on formal education because they think that if they have a Diploma, they have many opportunities. But the things are not quite so. After their graduation, they are looking for a workplace and don’t find anything in the field they studied. Basic education is very important, I admit. Non-formal education is different from formal education, from the issues of content and forms of realization. Non-formal education is characterized by:
•Actual responsibility to set requirements
•Allows moments of abstraction, by extracting knowledge from practical life
•Out of education, teaching function, giving way learning function.
Functions of non-formal education activities are crucial in the process of lifelong learning. Besides developing skills which are specific to certain areas of activity students develop their functional skills: organizational capabilities, time management, critical thinking, decision-making. Students are able to create and develop a competitive spirit based on their real skills and abilities.
Personal development plays a crucial role in human life. State education doesn’t put great emphasis on personal development. People’s thirst for personal growth pushes them to give up traditional education. If you find your purpose in life, building your big dreams with traditional education it’s brilliant.
Traditional education teaches you how to be an employee. I am convinced that there isn’t an ideal job to satisfy your inner desires. Therefore, I am looking for other ways to live my dreams, not through traditional education. I find my path and it works like a charm and the best part is it does not require any effort. It is effortless. You got to use it to believe it. Ask me for more information if you are interested. You have the greatest opportunity to add bright colours to your life. Fired Up and Focused!
