“Informal training programmes , lasting a few weeks to a few months, need to be targeted a low-income rural and urban youth …
The courses should be short, practical, inexpensive, accessible, flexible, and spread regionally…
Training could be in schools, by instructors who could make visits to target sites, or though mobile training devices…
The timings of these courses should be flexible…

“Such training would assist in strengthening both self-employment and wage employment outside family farms, in rural and urban areas alike.
Private sector partnership should also be sought in these training programmes.
The target should be to train about 10.000 to 12.000 persons per year.”

There is no doubt
- early childhood education- primary schooling
are very important for lifelong learning
But at the same time
- youth and skills training- adult education and learning- non-formal and informal education
are not less important for the individual and society
