What 85.5 includes

• This group includes education (including non-formal education) that is not part of initial education in the traditional school system and is not equivalent to such programs in terms of content and qualifications. It includes training for vocational, leisure, or personal development purposes, intended for both children and adults, including non-formal continuing vocational education and training. Non-formal education is defined by ISCED 2011 as institutionalized, voluntary, and planned education provided by an education provider, which is an addition to, an alternative to, and/or a complement to formal education in the lifelong learning process of an individual. It is aimed at individuals of all ages but is not necessarily structured as a continuous course; it may be short-term and/or low-intensity and is generally delivered in the form of short programs, workshops, or seminars. This group includes instruction to groups or individuals in athletic disciplines, foreign languages, the arts, drama, music, and other specialized courses or training provided at camps or by schools, which are not comparable to instruction covered by groups 85.1 to 85.4. This group also includes teaching activities carried out by independent/self-employed/individual/self-employed teachers (tutors, academics, instructors). It does not include formal teaching activities as defined in groups 85.1 to 85.4, namely preschool, primary, secondary, post-secondary non-tertiary, or tertiary education.
