Abstract

The process of socialization does not finish after the achievement certain age, it is continuous. Therefore, the education of adults in all historical periods was considered the most important socio-pedagogical function of society. The overwhelming majority of European countries have normative acts on the legislative regulation of adult education, which defines its educational objectives, the principles and mechanisms of state support, the main subjects, their rights and responsibilities, etc. In this context, the Slovak Republic has its own solid experience. The flagships of adult education at the beginning of the 20th century in Slovakia were the folk schools and universities, whose activities ensured the three goals of the adult education: education (assimilation of academic knowledge, overcoming illiteracy, raising the cultural level of adults, developing their educational habits); educational (formation of high moral virtues and values, tolerance, nationally oriented outlook, organization of leisure for adults) and political (development of the system of national education). The basic concept of adult education at the beginning of the 20th century was the very concept of lifelong learning, the purpose of which was not only to update, change and use previously acquired knowledge and skills, but also to expand the mental horizons of the individual, enhance the cultural level, develop skills and positive personality traits, acquire new experience in a new professional specialization.
