AB  - Access to education is one of the highest priorities on Uganda’s development agenda. To achieve
the national development goals, non-formal adult education is increasingly being used as an essential tool for
the extension of literacy for development across all sectors. Government caters for non-formal education largely
for children who still do not access education for various reasons such as social, economic and environmental.
These children include; over age, children in pastoral areas and fishing villages and those in labour who are
too old to return to school. Several initiatives have been undertaken by government in collaboration with other
stakeholders with a view to enable the out of school youth benefit from education through alternative
education delivery modalities. Apart from “non-formal education for children and youths”, several adult
education programmes and activities in Uganda are in place. These contain a vital and significant educational
component consisting of such elements as vocational training in various skills, artistic activities including
theatre and drama, extra-mural studies, community development and club activities, various mass mobilisation
programmes for general or specific adult groups and varied forms of extension work. This study is a review
paper about how nationalistic values contribute to the development of education, especially, non-formal adult
education which in turn is believed to contribute to national growth and development.
