Model Answer:
Education is the process to be enlightened and survive being the fittest. It illuminates the human beings and simultaneously allows the individuals to distinguish between the right and the wrong on their way of living. But to be illuminated, one needs to attend formal educational institutions. But there are some other views that informal education is also able to make people educated over different issues. It seems that both of the systems have different applications.
When a baby is sent to school, it learns different things into a formal environment and grows up nurturing the earned knowledge. Like the kid that has enrolled with any specific educational institution, the other kids also participate and they learn almost the same knowledge around the globe. The texts are designed properly, accurate and taught using various attractive methods by skilled teachers or instructors. The teaching methods are more or less same across the educational institutions on the planet.
On the other side, if you are out of your classroom and want to learn informally, you will be unable to learn the same knowledge as it is taught in the class. The informal process is not well designed and there is not instructor to show you the methods or ways over any issue. It is you who is to learn alone and personally. There are quite chances that you board on the wrong track as there is none to direct you. All the time you cannot learn the perfect things. In fact out of class learning is about adopting some specific issues or skills for life while the in-class teaching issues are wider and applicable almost everywhere.
One of the most important facts for formal education is that formal institutions offer certificates after the course completion but there are not such official documents against your learning or earned skills. Although you may not have to pay a single buck for gaining a personal experience investing time, skills and sincerity, the task will not be evaluated before the world until you have any form of documentation for that, while the in-class learning is evaluated everywhere.
Regarding the objectives of learning, one can learn any specific issue at the informal environment but the objectives are wider in the classroom environment. The courses structured in manners to make the students completely aware about almost all the issues necessary to live on earth while the knowledge outside of the class is scattered. It is nearly impossible to gather all the out of class objectives under a single shed.
Therefore, it appears to me that both of the ways are important but considering the importance the formal one is more important. In a practical manner, people value the formal degrees instead of learning from the out of the class environment. To make the issue clearer, if a corporate recruiting authority seeks a hand to be employed definitely it will allow the formally educated individuals to participate in the recruitment test. But it does not refer that the people who are self or informally educated are of no use or have been unemployed rather they are recruited where there are scopes for them to be employed after their competency.
