Adult education are grown up people. Adult education means educating those adults who are not educated. In some countries, there is tittle need for adult education because education is compulsory and everybody is educated. In some countries, there is need for adult education by the majority of the people are uneducated. In Nepal, many people are uneducated because education is not compulsory in our country.
Our country cannot advance until the majority of the adults are educated. It is the adults who form the working class. If they are not educated, they can not study and understand the development plans. We can not expect them. Uneducated people cannot be expected to be good citizens. They are conservative and believe in superstitions and traditional methods, They do not know the changes that have taken place in the world. They are slow to move with the times.
Nepal is a country of peasants. The prosperity of our country depends upon the prosperity our peasants. The peasants of our country are illiterate and Ignorant. They follow the traditional methods of agriculture. The production of their fields is low. They do not know the importance of co-operative societies and banks. They do not know the importance of sanitation and health. There houses and compounds are dirty. We can not expect to improve the condition of the peasants without educating them.
if the adults are educated, they will educate their children, and education will spread in the country. No Wadays, only a small number of the children of our country go to schools. They majority of the children stay at home and help their parents at work. Such children will grow up ignorant and illiterate persons like their parents. If the parents are educated, then education will spread in our country, and we can have a programme of compulsory education for all children.
To educate the adults, His. Majesty’s Government should start literacy classes and adult schools. Such schools must be free. The adults should be given prizes and other facilities. Without such facilities, we cannot attract the adults to schools. There should be short courses for the adults. They cannot be expected to devote a long period of time to education. There should be libraries and reading rooms for the adults, who are they finish the short courses. If the adults, who are made literate are left without reading facilities, they will soon forget what they have learnt.
Every village panchayat should have a programme of adult education. Class Organisations, welfare societies, schools and campuses also should help in this matter. The ministry of education of his Majesty’s Government has section of adult Education to guide and help them. This spread of adult education.
