Developing Strategies for Promoting Non- Formal Education in Nigeria

Abstract

The Federal Government of Nigeria is among the nation of the world aiming at achieving education for all (EFA) by 2015. But despite the effort put in place for the realization of this goal, social cultural attitudes, poverty and ignorance among its citizens stands as a major hindrance. This paper examines the alternative way (non- formal education) of combating these hindrances. In addition, strategies for the elimination of these hindrance and promotion of the non-formal education system are also highlighted. The paper concludes with appeal to the stake holders in non-formal education to make the potentials of the sector fully realized and utilized.
