Adult Basic Education and Literacy – Development, Problems and Tendencies

In times of fast and frequent changes, the significance of basic education of adults is greater than is generally recognised. Information about the development, problems and current tendencies in adult basic education and literacy abroad is rather scant in Croatia. It has often been overlooked that adult basic education, through its programmes, forms and models, offers various opportunities to its target groups to adapt to and participate in their social environment. Illusions about the success of adult literacy education have lately been dispelled, however, and the solution for a successful literacy education found in lifelong learning. The paper investigates and analyses adult basic education underlining the current tendencies in adult literacy education in the world.
