'Education for all' proves to be a slogan and aphorism. A person who is over twenty years of age is normally called an adult. The special education for the adult is known as adult education. In order to reduce the number of illiterate adults, it is implemented in most of the countries.

Illiterate adults are taught how to read and write. The basic skills and know of language and mathematics are given to adults. The government of Nepal has implemented adult education all over the country. The main aim of adult education is to make the illiterate people literate. Literacy is the basic need for all the people.
The adults who are illiterate do not want to go to general schools with small children. Illiterate people have to face with many problems. Adult education is based on the opinion that nobody can have a happy and prosperous life unless he/she is educated. It is expected that after the completion of adulated, they can read simple books, letters, newspapers, magazines and solve simple applied problems of mathematics.

Adult education is basically necessary for the illiterate adults. It is specially necessary in development countries like Nepal, Bhutan and so on. All the illiterate adults should be encouraged to learn adult education. It is necessary for the uplift of the country as well.
