Informal Education in India is basically a continuous
process in simple terms it is a process to learn through some activities or
through the interest of an individual or from a group of society. Informal
education takes its existence when an individual or group of peoples who are
not able to continue their education or who are uneducated but informal
education is a regular process of helping or supporting people to learn. The
main advantage of informal education is that it can occur at any stage or at
any age of life. It can occur at any age from birth to death it can be additive
or transformative. Structure of this format of education is basically non-
formal in simple terms we can define non formal education as a "systematic
education which is carried outside the boundaries of formal system of education."
The implementation of non formal education is
systematically organized in difference to formal education. Informal education
does not require any special efforts learning in a market place or in a room
can be an example of informal education. Formal education is generally imparted
in schools or colleges but informal education does not have any specialized or
pre planned structure and even informal education does not have any fixed time-table
or any curriculum. Understanding the importance of Non-Formal education in the
country like India where school drop out rate is very high, Innovative
Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. always tends to include Non Formal Education in Social
Development Projects. Innovative
Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. has been associated with NGOs working in
education sector.
Informal Education is one of the modes of
providing education basically derived from formal education and this concept
i.e. used wide in range in India and the main aim of non- formal education is
to spread the knowledge among the whole society. Non-formal education is
programmed to serve the needs of the identified groups.
Formal education has clear set of characteristic. Whenever one or more of these
characteristic is absent, we can say that the educational system had adopted
non-formal features. Non-formal education features are initiated when the
process does not need attendance of the students and there is decreased contact
between teacher and student and almost major activities take place outside the
institution or study center. This will majorly involve home reading and
paperwork. Innovative
Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. understands that teachers play a crucial role
in uplifting the quality of education. Non-formal education consists of sufficient
variety of educational situations and this has played an important role in the
regeneration of educational systems. There is a need to analyze three processes
of education that are: “distance learning”, “correspondence learning” and “open
systems”, which will fall under the category of non-formal education.
