Summary/Abstract: If we should define education, it can be said that it represents the totality of the influences, actions, activities developed for the formation, the development of the human personality with the purpose of its integration into society, and then the adaptation of the individual to the evolutions of the society.Permanently, on any person, influences act continuously. Depending on their type, education can be classified into: formal, non-formal and informal education.In brief and simpler, formal education is given by all didactic activities at school, non-formal is the set of educational activities outside the school, and informal education is the sum of the activities of our everyday life organized most often spontaneously, without a pedagogical purpose, but which has an educational-forming purpose.Moreover, the term "school" is the institution of the school, ie the totality of educational measures and processes that are carried out according to a well-defined curriculum, with well-defined objectives and methods that underlie the subsequent certification of the acquired knowledge and skills.Thus, the individual comes in contact with formal education at school, in extracurricular activities, with non-formal education, and in informal and unintentional educational situations in which man learns (acquires knowledge, skills and aptitudes) with informal education.
