Education is a process by which the acquisition of
knowledge, skills, values or attitudes is facilitated. Education occurs in

content, but the goal is always the same.

difference in the way of education. Education can be imparted in formal and
informal manner.

three salient features: formal education is delivered in a systematic manner,
it is delivered intentionally and it is systematically planned.

Education Act is a plan, whereby people are trained professionally. After
passing through various stages, certificates or diplomas or various degrees are
awarded.
Informal
education
This is a type of learning that is intentional and
structured, but that is outside the formal realm. Therefore, there is no law
and it is not regulated by the government sector. It can be recognized by a
certificate, but it has no professional value. Rather than in educational institutions,
it is imparted in the social sphere, for example, when parents teach their
children values. This is what has the most historical significance. Thus, it is
a form of learning that continues throughout life, even when you are not aware
of it.
