Non-formal education takes place both within and outside educational institutions. It caters to all ages and spans adult literacy, basic education, life skills, work skills and health promotion. This new COL publication explores quality assurance in non-formal education with an emphasis on evaluation programme outcomes, outputs and impacts. It examines approaches to quality assurance that are needed in non-formal education and introduces a rigorous but simple quality assurance framework.
