About the Book

Non formal education

Non-formal education aims to ensure that all children, youth, adults, poor people and those with disabilities realize their rights to a basic education and lifelong learning. Another objective is to provide opportunities for youth and adults to access life skills and become literate. Nonformal education is an organised educational process which takes place alongside the mainstream systems of education and training and does not typically lead to certification. Individuals participate on a voluntary basis and as a result, the individual takes an active role in the learning process. Unlike informal learning where learning happens less consciously, the individual is usually aware of the fact that he/she is learning through non-formal education. This book is designed to serve as an authentic reference tool on non-formal education.
