Abstract
In this paper it is argued that non-formal education has been evident in Fiji and other Pacific Island nations but has not been adequately conceptualised. As non-formal education has emerged as an international phenomenon (Khawaja and Brennan, 1990), an examination of some concepts of non-formal education was made to determine a general concept of non-formal education which would be relevant for the Pacific island nations. However, the importance of the localised nature of the ways in which a specific concept of non-formal education would develop is recognised. In examining the concept of non-formal education, various definitions, purposes and perspectives that have been developed in relation to the concept are examined.
