Agencies of Non-formal Education

The various agencies for organizing programs for non-formal education are as follows:

1.      Institutions for formal education.

2.      Special agencies for non-formal education such as Nehru Yuvak Kendras, training centers in factories, public libraries, centers of correspondence education, etc.

3.      Charitable non-government organizations such as clubs and societies.

4.      Radio and television.

Non-formal education is one of the methods of education which ought to be perceived and designed in coordination with formal and informal education systems. It will demonstrate insufficient and ineffective tools for solving complex problems or for achieving concrete goals if it is not properly organized. Again, it must not be incomplete to the imparting of basic skills only. It must be calculated as a combined system in the context of the total socio-economic environment. To make it effective in the modern societal context, a more integrated community-based program of innovation and change is needed to which various forms of education may contribute. This recommended filling the gaps between the learning systems as well as the community's needs.
