The education which takes place in schools, colleges and universities is called formal education. The objectives, curriculum and teaching methods of this education are all fixed. It is planned and its planning is very rigid. In this, learners have to work as per the time table of school, college or university. There is a provision for taking examinations and providing certificates. The biggest feature of this education is that it fulfills the needs of the individual, society and nation. It develops knowledge and skills in a person and makes him eligible for any business or industry. But this education is very expensive. Due to this, more money, time and energy have to be spent. Education is the effort of society to transfer its knowledge from one generation to the generation below it. In this view, education works as an institution, which plays an important role in connecting the individual with the society and maintains the continuity of the culture of the society. The child learns the basic rules, systems, norms and values of the society through education. A child is able to connect with the society only when he is familiar with the history of that particular society.
