Informal education is the bedrock of formal education which pupils and students receive in schools. Also, many parents have disregarded informal education as they have abandoned their sole responsibility of educating their children or wards informally by inculcating good morals like: honesty, loyalty, obedience, respect, love, integrity etc.
Furthermore, informal education helps students to be groomed into a total child who can adapt in any society and he or she will be able to compete with children of other nations in the world, as a child who is of good character cannot excel in different professions and fields of human endeavours.
Finally, many professionals and experts have failed in their professions or careers due to bad behaviours. Parents should as a matter of urgency take informal education in order to compliment teachers’ efforts to groom children who will be geniuses and icons in many professions in future.
