FUNCTIONS AND IMPORTANCE
OF EDUCATION
WHAT IS EDUCATION?
Education is the act or process
of imparting or acquiring
general knowledge, developing
the powers of reasoning and
judgment, and generally of
preparing oneself or others
intellectually for mature life
(https://www.dictionary.com/browse/education).
Education is
a social institution through
which a society’s children are
taught basic academic
knowledge, learning skills,
and cultural norms.
- Dr. William Little (2014)

questioning,

down of
knowledge
creating that there are two
different Latin roots of
the English word
"education." They are
"educare," which
means to train or to
mold, and "educere,"
meaning to lead out.
Learning is acquiring knowledge, skills,
and behaviors through studying,
practice, and experience. It involves
understanding, being able to explain
and remember information, and the
application of that understanding in
real-world situations.
It is a process that happens over time
and through practice, leading to an
increase in knowledge and the ability
to perform specific tasks or activities.
Unlearning is the act of purging
established hard earned knowledge to
make room for fresh knowledge.
Unlearning is sometimes referred to as
the art of "unknowing."
Unlearning challenges previously held
conceptions and biases to bring about
a growth mindset and positive
changes in our lives. It can be
imperative in cases where our current
knowledge needs to be updated to
have improved personal experiences.
Relearning is remembering what was
once known but has been forgotten. It
can involve many activities, such as
reviewing old material, studying new
material, and engaging in relevant
conversations. It is a powerful concept
that can help us refresh our skills and
stay relevant.
Relearning helps us to stay updated
with the latest developments, gain
valuable insights, and allows us to put
what we have learned into practice.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FORMAL
EDUCATION SYSTEM AND THE ALTERNATIVE
LEARNING SYSTEM (ALS) NON-FORMAL EDUCATION?
Formal Education system is classroom-based, managed
by trained formal school teachers.
ALS Non-formal Education happens outside the
classroom, community-based, usually conducted at
community learning centers, barangay multi-purpose hall,
libraries or at home, managed by ALS learning facilitators,
such as mobile teachers, district ALS Coordinators,
instructional managers at an agreed schedule and venue
between the learners and facilitators.
Informal education may be a parent teaching a child
how to prepare a meal or ride a bicycle.
• People can also get an informal education by reading
many books from a library or educational websites.
• Informal education is when you are not studying in a
school and do not use any particular learning method.
In this type of education, conscious efforts are not
involved. It is neither pre-planned nor deliberate. It may
be learned at some marketplace, hotel or at home.
Unlike formal education, informal education is not
imparted by an institution such as school or
college. Informal education is not given according
to any fixed timetable. There is no set curriculum
required. Informal education consists of
experiences and actually living in the family or
community.
