Africa Adult Education. Chronologies in Commonwealth Countries.

In this document, leading educators from 12 African Commonwealth countries trace the development of adult education in Africa and show how providers of adult education outside the formal education system (including government and nongovernment organizations, trade unions, women's groups, and religious organizations) have met the needs of their nations by providing various types of education and training, including agricultural extension and literacy, health, and political education.
