A literate population is a necessity for any nation wishing to take advantage of modern technological growth.
For .instance, research has shown a direct relationship between literacy among women and improved health' and
child care in the family. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has long
supported the concept that education must be considered an ongoing process.
Adult education has long been important in Europe, where formal programs began in the 18th century. In
Britain, concern for the education of poor and working-class people resulted in the growth of adult education
programs, such as the evening school and the, Mechanic's Institute, to expand education opportunities for all
people: ,After the Russian Revolution, the Russian government virtually eliminated illiteracy through the
establishment of various institutions and extension classes for adults.
In other areas of the world, adult education movements are of a more recent origin. In 1960, Egypt established
a 'schools for the people' system designed to educate the adult population. In the 1970s, countries in Africa, Asia,
and Latin America began to increase opportunities for adult education. Innovative programs involving the mass
media are being used in many countries. Tanzania, for example, has used mass education techniques and the radio
to organize national education programs in health, nutrition, and citizenship. In the 1980s, international educational
exchange programs grew in popularity in the United States and many other countries.
