The concept of adult education tends to be thought of as an educational process for adults. However, this is not the sphere in which adult education acts. Adult education, also called continuing education, any form of learning undertaken by or provided for mature men and women. Adult education is a practice in which adults engage in systematic and sustained self–educating activities in order to gain new forms of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values. It can mean any form of learning adults engage in beyond traditional schooling, encompassing basic literacy to personal ful llment as a lifelong learner. In particular, Adult Education aims at extending educational options to those adults, who have lost the opportunity and have crossed the age of formal education, but now feel a need for learning of any type, including literacy, basic education, skill development and equivalency.
