Abstract

The article deals with the problems of non-formal education in accordance with the experience of Turkey. The general definition of the concept of non-formal education and its implementation methods are given. There are highlighted the main tasks of creating and supporting of non-formal education as the most democratic and humanistic then other types of education. It involves taking into consideration the interests of the individuals and their needs. As well as it contributes the receiving of education by everyone who has desire, regardless of the age, gender, social status and a place of residence. The analysis of Turkish scientific studies about development of non-formal education in the country and its importance for the education of youth and adults allows us to state that the activities of this type of education are first of all directed to formation (at young people) and development (at adults) of the key competences of the individual. One of the main tasks that has to be set during the implementation of the educational policies of any country is the formation and development of key competencies of the individual (communication by the native language, competence at natural and technical sciences, information and digital competence, life skills, communication by the foreign language , mathematical competence, initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competence, awareness and self-expression in the culture sphere, environmental literacy and healthy life) for providing its competitiveness in the global labor market and its lifelong learning. Also, it is significant for improving and maintaining stable economic development, as well as for getting the high qualified workers. At the same time, it is important to introduce not only formal education, that is provided by the “educational programs in accordance with the levels of education, branches of knowledge, specialties (professions) and provides the achievement of the education results of the corresponding level of education and getting the qualifications which are determined by the legislation" but also informal, which has the main goal - to ensure the formation of personality skills and abilities in accordance with its abilities and scientific interests. Taking into consideration all above mentioned, it is interesting to analyze the experience of countries, in particular Turkey, in which special significance is given to the informal education, at the same quantity as to the formal education, for the formation and development of key competencies of the individual. Prospects for further development are the analysis of distance learning models of Turkish non-formal education, identifying problems and positive experiences.
