By virtue of its empowering characteristics having to do with human development, non formal education extends over a wider space in terms of its roles and functions. In other words it is not equated with merely a literacy program but more than that it is extended to regard the need for unfolding creative, analytical, critical and productive powers that lie inherent in an individual. To this end, the importance and meaning of non formal education as an active agent for human empowerment has been increasingly recognized. NFE has, since the sixtees, grown functionally more dynamic over the world. The NFE tradition is, in fact, an effective dimension—an achievement—in the field of education, and NFE as such may be looked upon as an alternative, or complement, to formal education. In expert's definition, NFE has been accepted as a participatory teaching process quite different from the formal curriculum and structure—different in that it is focused on existing needs and problems. The objective of NFE is not bound within any particular functional field, process or structure and so can be adjusted or readjusted as required.
