* Schooling refers to the *formal* process of learning that takes place in an institution, such as a school, college, or university. It's structured, follows a curriculum, and typically involves grades, assessments, and teachers. It's about *transmission* of knowledge and skills according to a predefined plan.
* Education, on the other hand, is a much broader concept encompassing all the learning experiences that contribute to a person's growth and development. It includes both formal schooling and informal learning that occurs outside of structured settings, such as:
* Experiences: Learning from life events, travel, relationships, and work.
* Self-directed learning: Pursuing knowledge and skills independently, through reading, research, or hobbies.
* Mentorship: Learning from experienced individuals.
* Community involvement: Gaining knowledge and skills through participation in social groups and activities.
Essentially, schooling is a *subset* of education. You can have schooling without true education (rote learning without understanding or application), and you can have a rich education without extensive formal schooling. The goal of schooling *should be* to contribute to a person's education, but it doesn't always achieve that goal.
