The Global Societal Factors of Adult Education

It is discovered that we learn by quantum thinking, which means by looking at the world in a new way; and learning in a safe environment. It may also be inferred that adults, not the educators, determine what they want to learn (Knowles,1980). Education creates a foundation for the success of professionals. The education of the adults may be formal or informal. The combinations of formal and informal education are the major fundamental of adult professionalism. The education obtained through informal education is the day to day observations or scanning of the environment or societal activities of the population. Informal education may be classified as knowledge or education obtained out of the classroom or out of the congregation of people. It is the education acquired through exploration of various paraphernalia of possible educational documentations or situations. The formal education obtained by many professional adults are classrooms-based, these may be through seminars or conferences. The basis for educating the professional adults is to update their skills because of changes in the society: Thus, this justified the purpose and the need for strategic adult educational planning (Knowles, 1980).
