CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Education as a hallmark in this writing has to be originally talked about before
conceptual purpose with which the researcher wants to write about Education.
Education in the broad science means more than intellectual aspect of it. A.B
Fafunwa (1991) knowledgeable states that in the beginning of the world, Adam
saw the animals first before he named them therefore, no study of history of
education particularly in Africa is complete without adequate knowledge of the
traditional or indigenous educational system prevalent in Africa before the
important religion which have influenced Nigeria education in no small
4
measure are of recent development compared with the indigenous system of
education which is as old as man himself in Africa.
Dr P. Eya (1993) on the same note said that, every society, simple or complex
has it’s own system for training and educating it’s youth, and education for the
good life has been one of the most persistent concerns of men.
Based on this acceleration, the period between 1976-1980 witnessed an
unprecedented growth at the level of education – primary, secondary and
tertiary institutions in Nigeria, which in the same vein witnessed the emergency
of adult education in this different learning sector.
Adult education is such a relatively new field of social practices that is still in
the process of forming new identity. Adult education describes the process of
adult learning in its broadest sense. It encompasses practically all experiences
of matured men and women by which they acquire new knowledge,
understanding, skills, attitudes, interests of values. It is a process used by
adults on their self development, both alone and with others which is also used
by institutions of all kinds for the growth and development of their employees,
members and clients.
5
Adult education when compared with other discipline within the field of
education has just emerged unlike older disciplines which have enjoyed
systematic research and training.
This exercise is tackled individually based on orientation, environment,
motives, privileges etc. It could even occur as restraining in an organization or
even for some other motives irrespectively.
Adult education is also a concept. The acquisition of reading and writing skills
which are to be applied for the development of the community. Adult
education is concerned with social welfare of agricultural extension and
community development. Adult education can be seen to contribute
immensely to the growth and development of a society. It is a lucrative
profession that extends in many directions and not only in teaching profession,
hence listing of job potentialities of adult educators.
Based on the above knowledge of adult education worldwide which is newly
spreading up like a wide fire, the state is not left out in this educational
exuberance, it is on this that in the year 1973 emerged the ABC university of
6
the air with a view to be co-operating with the Institute of Management and
Technology Enugu and University of Nigeria Nsukka Programme respectively.
The name is popularly known as School of Staff Development and Distance
Education (SDDE) UNIAIR. Then, it has time table and courses for the
students.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This sector of the discipline started in 1978, (SDDE IMT) in conjunction with
University Nigeria Nsukka with a view to have combined programme. Their
aim is to achieve the following objectives:-

8. To provide a form of education for educational planners to know

However, it was in paramount effort to achieve the sixth objectives above that

1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In the recent past, the Federal Government of Nigeria launched education for
all by the year 2000. To this gesture, Adult education exercise prompted up in
many institutions of higher learning in Nigeria but the main aim with which
this was launched, is still lingering. These adult education graduation
graduates who are opportune to gain from they still find it difficult to make
career opportunities in the fields.
They, in most cases do not even know on identify the possible employment
opportunity options available to them other than teaching career. These
graduates also complained that the employers are ignorant of the purpose and
10
content of the adult education programme, thereby refusing to employ them in
other jobs they are qualified for.
This overwhelming ignorance which embrace the whole aspect of the sector of
education is also due to lack of efficient and effective guiding principle by the
adult educators who in their own ignorance do not know even how to start to
blend the education of adult and the subsequent awareness to the masses so that
the participants in the programme and employers themselves will be well
aware of these people’s ability in handling jobs and to avoid reluctance in
participation by these adults.
In the light of the above facts, this study is designed to investigate career
opportunities available to the adult education graduates in Enugu State.
1.4 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The aim and objectives of this study is particularly to achieve the following.
1. Identify the various job opportunities open to adult education
graduates in the state.
2. To determine the extent to which these graduates have secured jobs in
the areas of their training and how well they trained.
11
3. To determine the extent to which the employers of labour know the
purpose and programme content of adult education.
1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study is limited to Enugu State and covers institute of management and
technology school of continuing education, SDDE department. This is so
because of the relative nearness of the programme in the educational sphere,
financial hindrances to go to many places in search of relevant data to agree
with the little gotten from the available texts. Again the people’s indifference
and strife to react positively when asked certain questions.
It was on this note that the researchers made this with the little at my disposal
and therefore limit the study to the above mentioned departments.
1.6 RESEARCH QUESTION
1. What are the employment opportunities available to these graduates
and their awareness?
2. How are these adults embracing this programme in other to make
career in these training?
12
3. What is the rate of awareness of the quality of these people, created
to employers of labour by the adult educators?
1.7 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
This study will be tested by the following hypothesis.
HO: People are not aware that employment opportunities are bound
everywhere for adult education graduates in Enugu State and adults
education are embracing the new programme (adult education)
massively to make career.
HI: The qualities of training received by these people are made known to the
employers of labour by the adult educators.
1.8 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is important because it will create awareness and knowledge of
employment opportunities which will assist these graduates in search of jobs
that will suit them and their desirable careers.
It is also hoped that the study will stimulate other researchers to carryout more
research on the relatively new topic, hence a starting point. Again to create
13
awareness to career opportunities and thus providing abundant information and
knowledge about adult education. More importantly, the government, the
employer of labour will be aware of the subject matter, content of adult
education programme and therefore place them in their placement services.
Finally, it will be a tribute to the adult education students of SDD department
of IMT to encourage the new entrails for there is more to gain in it.
1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Adult education as a new course in the field of discipline has been defined
differently by many authors. Agusioba defines it as all kinds of activities
which promotes the progress of the common man. It has been also defined as
an education to educate an adult for world citizenship, social and technological
changes, creative diversions, family living and provision of better education for
illiterates and handicapped adults.
Based on this careers opportunities for an adult in education can be defined as
the effort by a person out of due, studying to read and write on to achieve
special stall in a field of work to make certificate in such job as a qualification
to enable him continue in such industry for the job. The adult in this sense is
14
just not age but doing things when it is supposed to be done and not out of due
time.
