Here is the Non-Formal Adult Learning and Community Education Strategy (NALCES) for 2023/24-2027/28! This comprehensive strategy aims to revolutionize adult education in Uganda, providing a robust framework to foster lifelong learning and inclusive community development. Designed through a collaborative and participatory process, NALCES addresses the critical gaps and challenges identified in previous adult education initiatives. It emphasizes creating a qualitative learning system that empowers both youth and adults, ensuring that every learner has access to sustainable and equitable educational opportunities. Key objectives of NALCES include developing inclusive and high-quality NALCE programs, establishing flexible learning pathways through an assessment and accreditation framework, strengthening governance and coordination for effective service delivery, promoting evidence-based policy formulation and implementation, building the capacity of stakeholders at all levels for effective lifelong learning, and operationalizing a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system.
The strategy outlines various interventions to achieve these goals, such as establishing learning spaces, providing inclusive learning materials, enhancing the quality of education programs, and fostering strategic partnerships. By addressing these areas, NALCES seeks to create a transformative impact on adult education in Uganda, making lifelong learning accessible and beneficial for all. Join us in this journey towards a brighter, more educated future. Dive deeper into NALCES and discover how we are shaping the landscape of adult education in Uganda.
