Parallel to the rapid changes in society, the notion that the essential education is given in school sis also changing. In line with that notion, governments are making rearrangements in the goals, programs and organization of the school system, focusing on the development, expansion and restructuring of the non-formal learning and education system within continuing education and shifting the focus of education from formal to non-formal and continuing education. Non-formal education is simple and flexible and can be delivered at any place convenient to the learners. It is generally designed to meet the basic learning needs of disadvantaged groups and can be availed of at any age. Continuing education is an important need at all levels so that the neo-literates do not relapse into illiteracy. It can be a life-long process to keep pace with ever-expanding boundaries of knowledge and change in technologies. The present book highlights the significance of non-formal and continuing education in the changing world. The current practices, issues and challenges in the field are covered comprehensively. Administrators, policy planners, educators and students will find this work informative and useful.
