  4. Extension education
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Formal education

Formal education is the structured, systematic, hierarchical education provided in schools and colleges. It follows a fixed syllabus, has classrooms, designated teachers, and leads to recognized qualifications.

Comparing All Three Types
  • Formal: Schools/Colleges → Fixed syllabus → Certificates/Degrees → Age-specific → Compulsory attendance
  • Non-formal: Outside formal system → Some structure → No fixed age → Flexible → Example: skill development training
  • Informal: Daily life → No structure → No syllabus → Lifelong → Extension education falls here
