Folk Education

Folk education refers to informal learning that occurs within communities through traditions, customs, stories, and practical experiences rather than formal school settings. It encompasses the knowledge, skills, and values passed down orally or through practice, often rooted in local culture and everyday life. This type of education helps preserve cultural identity, promotes social cohesion, and enables individuals to learn useful skills relevant to their environment. It plays a vital role in community development by fostering a sense of heritage and collective knowledge shared across generations.
