QPQ: Done.
Overall: The article meets all the requirements for a DYK. The hooks are interesting, and the article is a pleasant read. I personally find ALT2 to be the most interesting, but I couldn't access its source, so I'm going to AGF on that one. Happy to pass the nomination. Congratulations! —

I'm fine with using ALT2. The page from the source is available online at

Fantastic article
Just wanted to leave a note and say that this article is written wonderfully! It's concise and straight-to-the-point; it almost reads like a simplewiki one :) —

Is there a reason the article is so short on
informal education (the concept, not our article which is a stub)? Apart from its definition, it isn't covered in
summary style and the
education article quickly moves to a overview of schooling and academics rather than, per the lede definition, how information has been transmitted, which largely happens outside of the school through everyday interactions (reading the news, books, interfacing with people outside of a classroom). czar 10:18, 2 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Hello
Czar and thanks for raising this point. The main reason is probably that, for better or worse, formal education gets a lot more attention in the academic literature. For example, much more research focuses on assessing and improving the schooling system than on how people learn things by reading newspapers. Often, the term "education" is implicitly meant to imply "formal education", as in the "International Standard Classification of Education" (I don't think there is any comparable international classification standard of informal education), "Department of Education" (which usually focus primarily on the schooling system), or the education section of a CV.
The relation between formal and informal education plays a key role in the section "History" and informal education is addressed implicitly in many other sections. The subsection "Formal, non-formal, and informal" is primarily about discussing the difference between these types of education. Are there any additional points about informal education that you think should be mentioned in this subsection?
