Abstract
The aim of this paper is to bring out the real value and worth of adult and non-formal education in a country such as Nigeria, and to dispel the notion or perception that adult and non-formal education is inferior to formal. The paper critically examined what adult education is, and what it is not. This paper therefore, seeks to clear misunderstandings and misconceptions about adult education and to instil the right attitude towards adult and non-formal education. It also looks at the meaning of non-formal education and different aspects of non-formal education. Equally, different programmes under non-formal education and characteristics or features of non-formal education were highlighted. The scope of adult and non-formal education was extensively discussed.
