Adult Education Voluntary learning in organized courses by
mature men and women is called adult education. Such education is offered to
make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may
want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills
or job training, find out about new technological developments, seek better
self-understanding, or develop new talents and skills. This kind
of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the
use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting. It may also be
acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs
and professional associations. Modem adult education for large
numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the
Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking place:
people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being
created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need
for further education and re-education of adults. The earliest
programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with
the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics’ institution in
Glasgow. Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education
institution in the US in Philadelphia in 1727. People recognize
that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For
example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to
take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.
Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other
needs. Paragraph 2______
