Council of Europe – Conseil de L’Europe

FORMAL EDUCATION education that takes place within the hierarchically structured, chronologically graded formal 'education system‘ (e.g. schools, universities, specialized programs, professional training etc.)

INFORMAL (“Life school”) non-organized and incidental learning that goes on in daily life; socialization (in contacts with others, family and neighbours, mass media, library, in the street or market place…)

If NFE is none of the above then what is it about???
