Brennan’s Three Subtypes of Nonformal Education
• Education for those who failed to gain basic skills from a formal institution
• Education that is quick to cater to someone’s specific need. Examples include community colleges, curriculums for persons who are illiterate, etc.
• Education programs that react to social and economical situations. Examples would be creating forums that ate focused on issues such as healthcare, immigration, etc.
Additional Facts:• Nonformal is inexpensive compared to formal education systems• Nonformal systems assist with individual’s personal needs such as international
development programs or home schooling

Informal Learning• Here is a perfect example of informal
learning and how it occurs in our everyday lives. Think about when you get in the car, you automatically will recognize a song on your favorite radio station and begin to sing it. Do you ever think about how you learned the words?
• Open the hyperlink on the arrow image.• The video proves how others are
