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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Open and Distance Education,$x2509-4343 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aDigital Education and Educational Technology 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aDigital Education and Educational Technology. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 676 $a371.35091724 700 $aLatchem$b Colin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058936 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299515403321 996 $aOpen and Distance Non-formal Education in Developing Countries$92503254 997 $aUNINA
