The Importance of Non-Formal Education in Realizing Inclusive Education

Yogyakarta, March 14 2025–Education is one of the most important elements in society. Other than formal education, the presence of non-formal education became an important part in fulfilling self-development. The Department of Sociology of Fisipol UGM organized a guest lecture, comparing non-formal education in Romania to Indonesia with an expert from the West University of Timisoara on Friday (14/3).
Dr. Atalia Oniliu, a lecturer from the West University of Timisoara explained that the efforts in recognizing non-formal education in Europe began in 2001. The people realized that the presence of non-formal education does not only function as a complement to formal education, but it can also help hone self competencies and character. “We see non-formal education as something that is important. It can help hone character, culture, and soft skills that you would not typically experience in formal education,” Atalia mentioned.  

Through cooperation and teamwork between the European Commision and the European Education Council for Non-Formal Education, the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCE) was created. This regulation gives several classifications and requirements so that non-formal education could be recognized according to its categories. These steps can help improve awareness of the importance of non-formal education to Romanian citizens, as well as achieve recognition in career paths. 

“We emphasize that non-formal education is a part of long-life learning and honing soft skills. With that, it should be ensured that while non-formal education does not hand out diplomas like formal education does, there are still levels and special recognition,” Atalia added. The Romanian government currently has two main objectives in ISCE. First is to provide materials that formal education does not provide. The second is to reach all levels of society and achieve social inclusivity.  read more
