   Education is very important to everyone because it helps to learn how to do things and encourage us to think about what we learn and it can help us in the near future to have a better life. We have three types of education, the formal education, informal education and non-formal education. We all know that the three types of education are important to us, but for me the most preferable is the formal education because it is often used by all of us, formal education is structured and there is a lot of evidence that formal education is the most effective way to learn for some people because formal education is classroom-based and provided by trained teachers, one of the great advantage of a formal education is you will be credentialed and it will help you to get a better job. It is official, hierarchically structured, organized by public or private organizations institutions and results with formal certification and formal level of qualification which is recognized by relevant national educational authorities.

  The second type of education is the informal education, a self-controlled and self-guided type of learning that usually doesn’t have a formal curriculum and it can be spontaneous. In informal education there is no classroom because any place can be your classroom, someone teaches you what you want to learn without any trained teachers as long as you gained knowledge and skills from that. One of the people who studies informal education methods is the street childrens, because they do not have enough money to provide their basic needs in school.

The last type of education is the non-formal education, it is not organized or structured in terms of objectives and learning support. It helps us to acquire and maintain skills and abilities in a new and fun way. The lesson or the activities that you do can be take place outside the school or institution. It provides you a completely new experience which you will never forget.For other peoplr, it is enough for them to have formal education but for me it's better not to focus on formal education only because it's better if you have a lot knowledge,skills and values from those types of education, like in non-formal education everything changes and becomes challenging, exciting and fun that that young people like, to have fun, to actively participate and to benefit from it.    Each of these education has many advantages and benefits that we can take and the most important thing is that we learn in different ways.
