Abstract	A regional workshop on nonformal education programs in Asia and the Pacific was organized to review the state of the art of nonformal education programs in the participating countries; to identify major problems, issues, and trends in the areas of nonformal education; and to synthesize innovative experiences and approaches developed in this area. The workshop was attended by 18 participants from 15 countries in Asia and the Pacific and from Unesco. From the country reports, it was evident that nonformal education is playing a complementary and increasingly important role in broadening educational opportunities for all in various forms at all levels. Schooling is no longer regarded as the sole educational means to national and personal development, and formal and nonformal education programs overlay and intertwine in response to individual learner's and nation's needs. Various terms such as out-of-school, adult, community, continuing, social, and further education are used in different countries to describe programs that are totally or partially nonformal in nature. (This workshop report includes synopses of the country reports; a discussion of the problems, issues, and trends identified in nonformal education programs for children and youth and in programs for adults; an examination of innovative experiences and approaches described at the conference, including instructional strategies, work and businesses that include skill training, and community development and leisure education programming; a conclusion and recommendations; and lists of workshop participants and group members.)
