A literate population is a necessity for any nation wishing to take advantage of

between literacy among women and improved health' and child care in the family. The
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has long
supported the concept that education must be considered an ongoing process.
Adult education has long been important in Europe, where formal programs began in
the 18th century. In Britain, concern for the education of poor and working-class people
resulted in the growth of adult education programs, such as the evening school and the,
Mechanic's Institute, to expand education opportunities for all people: ,After the Russian
Revolution, the Russian government virtually eliminated illiteracy through the
establishment of various institutions and extension classes for adults.
In other areas of the world, adult education movements are of a more recent origin. In
1960, Egypt established a 'schools for the people' system designed to educate the adult
population. In the 1970s, countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America began to increase
opportunities for adult education. Innovative programs involving the mass media are
being used in many countries. Tanzania, for example, has used mass education
techniques and the radio to organize national education programs in health, nutrition, and
citizenship. In the 1980s, international educational exchange programs grew in popularity
in the United States and many other countries.
