This is like comparing the sun with the clouds.

Both are needed to let a plant grow: suns energy and clouds for rain.

So is formal education complementary to informal education.

The only thing questionable is the expression "informal education", while if we talk about educating it contains a directive approach, thus not informal anymore.

The expression informal learning would suite better.

What are the differences between formal education and agricultural extension?

The fundamental differences between formal and non-formal (or, informal) education come from the instructors and instructional contexts involved. In formal educating, instructors are clearly distinguished and professionally trained, with instruction typically occurring in a place set aside for education. In informal educating, the instructor might be oneself, a book, a friend, or some other source, with instruction occurring at home or in the "school of life", rather than a dedicated school or other educational organization.

Definition of legal law and non legal?

Formal and Non Formal Education has basic differences. Formal education is classroom-based, accompanied by trained teachers. Informal education happens outside the classroom, in after-school programs, community-based organizations, museums, libraries, or at home. Both formal and informal education settings offer different strengths to educational outreach project. After-school programs offer a different kind of environment, where ones activities don't need to be as formal and once can easily reach the audience. While both schools and after-school programs serve students, at school blossom in after-school settings. Real learning can happen in a setting where kids feel less intimidated or more comfortable than they do in a formal classroom.THESSA MATULAC

Do you prefer non formal education to formal education?

The University Confidential TrailBlazing team was just asked to come up with a few thoughts on informal or non-formal education. Informal Learning is a new trend which is taking hold in a lot of industries. Universities and Colleges have ceased to be specific or teach specific skills - a very key one being critical thinking. Informal learning tends to be on the job in nature, it would be something like a company mentorship program, or on the job training. Both of which are informal and in most cases there is no test - once the employee demonstrates proficiency they can move off and do the job. Internships and CoOp work terms also tend to fall into the category of informal learning. The big reason why informal learning is such a trend right now is because it allows the teaching of specific skills without overdoing it. Unless a student actively pursues it at College or University the likelihood they will acquire the skills the employers these days require, is quite low.
