dc.description.abstract | The real purpose of this study was to find out the role of adult education
on economic development in Kasarani division of Nairobi Province. The
research study was guided by research questions which were relevant to the
objectives of the study. The literature review of the research covered the
brief historical background of the United Nations Organization in China,
Bangladesh, Cuba and India.
African Review of adult education in countries like Tanzania, Ghana and
Guinea and the adult education in Kenya was covered. Transformation
through learning activities was realized through some case studies. The data
was collected through questionnaires. The questionnaires for adult education
officers in Kasarani, the adult education teachers an. d the adult education students were well received because the respondents felt that their needs had
to be addressed. Most of the learners had shown a lot of interest in their
learning. Some people were learning how to read and others doing activities
they did not want to do.
The study recommended that the adult education learning should be
promoted because it makes some people start businesses, encourage their
children to go to school and some have wished to get higher education
before they get jobs. Adult learning should be given more emphasis for
economic development than it has ever been before. | en |
