Abstract

The analysis of some issues concerning quality in the area of non-formal adult education was conducted with the aim of questioning the possibilities for introducing in this distinct subsystem of education standards of quality management in order to improve it. The search for possibilities began by considering the very term of standards and its functions, and continued by presenting standards ISO 2990:2010, which relate to learning services in non-formal education and training, by examining closer conditions for obtaining the status of a publicly accredited organizer of adult education activities. These two types of standards were then compared, after which we turned to definitions, elements and characteristics of non-formal education. By acknowledging some of the basic determinants of non-formal education, as well as the standards, we offer a draft of a possible construct for introducing quality standards in non-formal adult education.
