What do you mean by ADULT EDUCATION


Adult Education is all about literacy, in which adults learn the most basic materials, can develop their personality and even attain advanced degrees. Adult education actually is not only about eradicating illiteracy among adults in the country, it is also about continuing their education which includes the three R’s (reading, writing and arithmetic). Malcolm Knowles is also called the father of adult education, pioneered the field of adult learning in the U.S in the 20th century.


Only though adult education can we address the real problems of society – like power sharing, wealth creation, gender and health issues


said Adama Ouane, director of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning.
