AED101A - Participation rate in formal education, non-formal education or informal learning - for persons aged 18-69 years, by sex, urban/rural area, age groups, level of education, current activity status and development regions |
Definition |
Formal education refers to the institutionalized, intentional and planned learning activity that is carried out in schools, high schools, universities, institutes, study academies, doctoral or postdoctoral schools and other pre-university or higher education institutions within the national education system and consists , generally in basic/general education and initial vocational training (the education that precedes the individual's entry into the labor market). Non-formal education refers to any institutionalized, intentional and planned learning activity organized by a vocational education or training provider. The defining feature of this form of education is that it either complements and develops the knowledge, skills and competences acquired through the national education system, or is an alternative to it. Informal learning refers to intentional but less organized and structured education and includes self-directed learning that takes place in the family, workplace, community and everyday life of any person. Informal learning is non-institutionalized. |
