You’ll likely need both types of pensions for retirement (the State Pension and a private pension).
The State Pension is the pension you’ll get from the government when you reach State Pension age (currently 66 but rising to 68 in future).
And a private pension is one you pay into yourself, through your job, or by setting one up yourself, or both (recommended) - it’s pretty essential to build up a big private pension for a comfortable retirement these days.
