Moving towards Mastery in Universe of Opportunities: The Role of Adult and Non Formal Education

There are lots of opportunities in the world today, but these opportunities are hardly noticed by the people, talk-less of moving towards mastery. There are many poor people in the world today because they lack the capacity to maintain at least basic level of decent living. Many countries of the world, most especially African countries have initiated programmes and policies aimed at combating these conditions but these policies and programmes are not yielding the desired results. This paper examined the role of Adult and Non-Formal Education in a universe of opportunities, as well as, helping to show the act of moving towards mastering them. Adult and Non-Formal Education is a programme designed to provide education for all men and women who are aged twenty-one (21) and above years as well as for those who are though adults but are in vocational disciplines so as to improve on their trade. This study that is purely descriptive has essentially analyzed relevant documents relating to Adult and Non- Formal Education in terms of opportunities that are available to all and how they can move towards mastering these opportunities for their own good, the paper has therefore recommended among others: that for discovered opportunities to be mastered in the universe, the place of Adult and Non-Formal Education should not be taken for granted.
