Program Development Planning for Adult Education

Introduction and Purpose

Society is made of people. People are bound to live their lives with innate traits, skills and living standard, if not exposed to education system. Education plays vital role in the development of our personality. It helps us in changing our perception, behavior and attitude to make our lives better. Education revamps the thought process of individuals and make them contributing member of the society. There many people in our society who remain unprivileged for getting adequate education facilities throughout their lives.

Adult education is also one of the factors of education having very positive impact on the society. This is the reason that adult education is considered to be a very important educational element. The illiteracy rate in the world is continuously increasing; therefore, there is a great need that the adult education should be promoted (Wilson, 1996, p. 13). The adult education is very essential for the society to be adopted because it is considered to powerful auxiliary. Adult education is also a very important incentive for the primary education. It is thought that the universal education cannot gain the fruitful results without the contributions and active support of the adults.

Thus, it can be said that adult education is a necessary factor to be considered in the educational field and the difficulties faced by the societies in terms of increased illegal acts, violence ...
