For example, the work of Ezeomah on education with nomadic groups in Nigeria speaks of “experiments to bring formal education to nomadic Fulani in Nigeria” (Ezeomah 1985) when many of his programmes would be called by others NFE — e.g. “the type of education suited to the nomadic Fulani lifestyle and related to their culture”, p. 11.

  4. There is one reference to “non-formal (vocational) training programmes” in Buchert 1992: 162–164, but the report normally uses the distinction between formal and informal vocational training (p. 171). There are also mentions of “both the formal and nonformal sides of primary education” (p. 191), and of “nonformal skills training” (p. 194).
