Abstract | The book explores why nonformal education programs in Latin America fail to promote and influence desired social change. Nonformal education includes community involvement and technical training in schools after school hours, adult basic education, extension courses relating to agriculture, health, and community enterprises. The book contains seven chapters. Chapter I discusses the relationship of social policy and underdevelopment to nonformal education and suggests that different ideological perspectives of educational developers lead to inconsistencies in goal definition. Chapter II outlines relevant theoretical literature for conceptualizing education and social change. Chapters III-VI discuss nonformal education programs, including technical schools, adult education, extension and community organization programs, and integrated development programs which combine financial aid, educational expertise, community organizations, and overall objectives. The final chapter summarizes the knowledge which has been gained from nonformal education programs. It concludes that a successful strategy for nonformal education in the future will have to combine long-term alteration in man's behavior with alteration of the social structure along lines of change-strategy principles emanating from the theoretical literature.
