Abstract

Since the implementation of China’s double reduction policy on July 24, 2021, formal education has received increasing attention, while the status of nonformal and informal education has gradually declined. In this social context, this paper adopts a literature analysis approach to conduct a comprehensive study of formal, nonformal, and informal education in China. It is found that although these three types of education are in different status quo, they all have their own problems: formal education has an excessively uniform grading system, restricts students’ inventiveness, creates a variety of pressures, and distributes educational resources unevenly; nonformal education suffers from unregulated, expensive fees, and specialized training aims; informal education restricts students’ advancements and does not fully contribute to their development. The author finally proposes corresponding solutions: training educators in new teaching techniques, modifying the degree of difficulty of the learning materials, fully utilizing new technologies, networks, and media, and combining formal education, nonformal education, and informal education.
