Family is the main agency of

The family is the main agency of informal education, where the child learns naturally without a set syllabus or timetable.

Informal education is lifelong, unplanned and incidental, absorbed through daily living and imitation.

Formal education is deliberate, graded and certified, delivered by schools, colleges and universities.

Non-formal education is organised but flexible, offered outside the regular system through open schooling and adult programmes.

The option none of the above is ruled out because the family clearly serves informal education.

The family is also the child's first and primary agency of socialisation, shaping early values and habits.
