Adult Education for Developing Countries.

In developing countries the need for providing opportunities for all forms of adult learning is a first priority, since all basic development must be associated with learning. At present, most emphasis is placed on subject matter--ideas, information, skills, and techniques. It is often not realized that as far as education is concerned, the way knowledge is arranged and delivered is as important as the knowledge itself. The three sections of this book cover the relationship between adult education and national development, problems of organization and administration, and methods and means experience has shown can be used to realize specific objectives and bring them to a satisfactory conclusion. (A list of readings is included.) (se)
