I heard there are some noneducation programs available this summer.

Root Explanation

Noneducation → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "education" (from Latin "educatio", meaning the act of bringing up or educating). The word "noneducation" refers to the absence or lack of education.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') having to do with 'education' — so noneducation means not having education.
