Community education includes all occupations and methods related to the implementation of education and development plans in local communities rather than educational institutions such as schools, colleges and universities.
The latter is called formal education system, while community education is sometimes called informal education. For a long time, it has criticized all aspects of the formal education system, because most people in all countries have failed, and paid special attention to bringing learning and development opportunities to poor areas, although it can provide broader opportunities.
There are countless job titles, and employers include public authorities and voluntary organizations or non-governmental organizations, which are funded by the state and independent funding agencies. Schools, colleges and universities can also support community learning and development through outreach within the community. Since the 1960s, the community school movement has been a strong supporter of this view.
For decades, some universities and colleges have carried out adult education programs in local communities. Since 1970s, the prefix "community" has been adopted by other professions, from young workers and health workers to planners and architects. They work for more disadvantaged groups and communities and are influenced by community education and community development methods.
admission qualifications
Professional community educators or community learning and development workers usually hold professional degrees in community education or community learning and development, depending on the courses offered by the universities they graduated from.
In Scotland, qualifications may be approved by the Community Learning and Development Standards Committee. This means that the course has been evaluated by a group of peers-an approval team. The course must have a total of 40% practical elements to be approved.
Many people who work in the field of community learning and development will do so voluntarily. These people are usually encouraged to complete alternative full-time degree programs based on the workplace. People in other paid positions may have relevant qualifications in this field. These people will also be encouraged to pursue a degree in community education.
Some universities offer postgraduate degrees in community education, such as MA, MSc, PGDip and PGCert.
