It includes many instructive and inspiring examples of how international agencies such as UNESCO, FAO, WHO, UNICEF, USAID and the Commonwealth of Learning and national providers are using radio, TV, online and mobile learning, telecentres and other means to achieve the Education for All, Millennium Development and Sustainable Development Goals. It describes the educational needs of the world’s most disadvantaged, vulnerable and least formally educated children, youth and adult populations, including the disabled, refugees and prisoners. It also reports on the successes, outcomes, constraints and shortcomings of using open and distance methods and technology to deliver literacy and numeracy programmes, equivalency, ‘second chance’ or alternative schooling, life skills and rural community development programmes and income generation and vocational training outside the framework of the formal education system. It concludes with suggestions for the extension and improvement of such lifelong learning. Designed to encourage further research and development in these capacity-building practices outside the established formal system, this is a must-read for all policy-makers, managers, educators, students and researchers interested in non-formal education for individuals, families and communities in the developing world.SpringerBriefs in Open and Distance Education,2509-4343Educational technologyLearning, Psychology ofInternational educationComparative educationDigital Education and Educational TechnologyInstructional PsychologyInternational and Comparative EducationEducational technology.Learning, Psychology of.International education.Comparative education.Digital Education and Educational Technology.Instructional Psychology.International and Comparative Education.371.35091724Latchem Colinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299515403321Open and Distance Non-formal Education in Developing Countries2503254UNINA
