Poverty, particularly among rural women, remains a persistent issue that affects various facets of life. Adult education has been proposed as a solution, yet its effectiveness in reducing poverty has not been fully assessed. The research primarily aims to evaluate the impact of adult education on participants'''' socio-economic status, explore challenges faced by these programmes, and assess participants'''' perceptions. The study draws on theories such as Human Capital and Empowerment Theory, framing adult education as a pathway to improved socio-economic outcomes. A descriptive survey design was employed, with a population of 2,000 participants from diverse adult education programmes. Using stratified random sampling, a sample size of 333 was determined based on Israel''s (1992) sample size calculation. Data was collected via a structured questionnaire, and SPSS was used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics like frequencies, means, and percentages were employed. Findings reveal that 80% of respondents believe adult education programmes are well-organized, with 65% indicating moderate satisfaction with available resources. However, 45% identified challenges like inadequate funding and poor infrastructure. The majority (70%) reported improvements in their socio-economic status, with increased employment opportunities and enhanced skills. The study concludes that adult education has a positive impact on poverty alleviation, though significant barriers persist. Recommendations include increasing government investment in adult education, improving infrastructure, and expanding programme outreach to marginalized groups....Preview Download Preview +Other Education project topics and materials you might be interested in»Strategies for improving low academic performance in English language in secondary schools»The effect of continuous assessment on academic performance of students in school (a case study of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state)»Influence of social media on the performance of secondary school students as perceived by teachers»The effect of overpopulation on the academic performance of students - a case study of Uselu secondary school, Benin City»The use of extensive reading in promoting communication competence in secondary school»Effect of drill and practice on the academic achievement of students in English language in junior secondary schools»Evaluating the causes, effects and solutions to cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions»The problems of primary school education in Kano State»Factors affecting the effective implementation of continuous assessment in Oredo local government area of Edo state»Effect of school environment on the academic performance of primary school students»Factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools»Factors affecting the implementation of universal basic education in some selected primary schools»Cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions - a case study of Lagos state university»Efficacy of mastery learning on retention and performance in identified threshold concepts in chemistry among secondary school students in Kano municipal, Nigeria»Impact of principal’s leadership style on students’ academic performance in some selected secondary schools of Gwale local government area, Kano state
