Abstract
The author reveals the concept of non-formal education, which is based on a humanistic approach and a personal-oriented pedagogy. Non-formal education is considered as a form of lifelong education and the educational process organized outside the traditional education system and aimed at meeting the cognitive needs of different age groups. Non-formal education, carried out by the different actors of the educational space, aimed at a human adaptation to a rapidly changing social, economic, technological, political environment, his/her integration into the society, the increased participation in social processes, constant updating of knowledge, skills and abilities regardless of the individual age. It is proved that the system of non-formal education has all the necessary pedagogical attributes: the goals, objectives, content, learning technologies. The basic characteristics and also the functions of non-formal education, such as cognitive, practical and psychological are presented. There have been identified three key providers of the educational services in the field of non-formal education: state structure and business engaged in advanced training of employees, and community organizations. The author describes the prerequisites for the realization of the non-formal education ideas in Ukraine (cultural, historical, social, economic, technological, psychological, pedagogical). At the same time it is stated the existing difficulties for the recognition of non-formal education at the legislative, institutional and professional level, the lack of a coherent educational strategy in Ukraine.
