Similarities and differences between education and self-education.

The similarity between education and self-education is expressed in the fact that these concepts are aimed at improving the intellectual level of a person, developing his civic qualities, and assimilating the norms of generally accepted morality. Education and self-education have a specific program; they do not happen spontaneously.
But the very content of this program is different. In the process of education, a person assimilates all the knowledge offered to him. But self-education presupposes the independent assimilation of those norms and rules that a person needs. Self-education is more individual.
