 Adult education
approaches

Humanistic approach
 According to humanistic approach:
 Every human is unique and have
equal rights.
 Based on “meaning making” by acquiring
knowledge.
 All human need quality education
 There must be no discrimination between
rich and poor or male and female
 Education for all
Behaviorist approaches
 behaviouristic approach based on:
 Change behaviour via specific stimuli
 Learners are not intrinsically motivated or
able to construct meaning for
themselves.
 Human behaviour can be predicted and
controlled through reward and
punishment.
Critical approach:
 Critical approach is about;
 education tends to reproduce the structures
and inequalities of the society
 According to Critical theorists:
 education that promotes social change;
 a curriculum and teaching methods that
encourage critical analysis of social
power relations and of ways in which
formal knowledge is produced and
transmitted.
Adult education approaches
 In the adult education tradition,
experience and critical reflection in
learning is an important aspect of
quality.
Indigenous approaches
 learners have rich sources of prior
knowledge , accumulated through
a variety of experiences,
 Learners should play a role in defining
their own curriculum.
 Learning should move beyond the
boundaries and learn through non-
formal education.
Quality education in
Pakistan
 In Pakistan’s policies policy makers put
great emphasize on quality education
 The main focus of these policies on:
“education for all’
 The Society for Access to Quality Education
(SAQE) was establish in Pakistan under
ordinance 1961 in August 2010.
Poor quality of education
in Pakistan:

not attend school, according to a 2011 report
by the Pakistan Education Task Force (PETF).

Education Report (ASER) compiled by the
South Asian Forum for Education
Development, 45 percent of grade 5 students
in public schools can only read a grade 2-
level story in Urdu. The number is only
slightly better in private schools - 57 percent.

education

they have their own curriculum which is
totally different from govt.schools

ethics, norms, values, culture

education quality and competition in
higher studies by introducing schemes
like solar systems, laptop distribution.
