Formal learning refers to structured educational experiences that typically occur in a classroom setting. This type of learning is organized and guided by a curriculum, often led by a qualified instructor. It usually takes place in institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities, where students follow a set schedule and receive grades or certifications upon completion. In formal learning, the focus is on acquiring specific knowledge and skills through systematic instruction. It often involves assessments, such as tests and assignments, to evaluate student progress. Examples of formal learning include primary education, secondary education, and higher education programs that prepare individuals for various careers and life skills.
