Definition:

The percentage of youth and adults in a given age range (e.g. 15-24 years, 25-64 years, etc.) participating in formal or non-formal education or training in a given time period (e.g. last 12 months). Formal education and training is defined as education provided by the system of schools, colleges, universities and other formal educational institutions that normally constitutes a continuous ‘ladder’ of full-time education young people, generally beginning at the age of 5 to 7 and continuing to up to 20 or 25 years old.

Depending on institution, it may cover educational program to impart adult literacy, life-skills, work-skills, and other apprenticeship skills. Non-formal education and training is defined as any organized and sustained learning activities that do not correspond exactly to the definition of formal education as stated above. Non-formal education may therefore take place both within and outside educational institutions and cater for individuals of all ages.
