COMPLETE PROJECT-ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ADULT LITERACY CURRICULUM

 The success of every society depends deeply on the quality and quantity of education of its citizens. Adult literacy programme was designed to empower the adult members with basic literacy and functional education needed for their improvement. It has been a bottle neck to improve the implementation of adult literacy programme in the study area.

Government and individuals have yearned for functional Adult Literacy programme but to no avail. It was on the basis of these background that the study was undertaken. The study is a descriptive Survey research. Findings from the selected respondents as representative sample were generalized on the entire target population. Five research questions were raised and answered in the course of the study and five hypotheses were stated and tested in the course of the investigation. Frequency counts and percentages, t-test and X2 were employed as statistical tool in the analysis of data. One of the major findings was that implementation of adult literacy programme has enabled many adult (both male and female) to become educationally empowered. Some of the beneficiaries of the programme got jobs, others improved upon their jobs and also got promotions. It has positive impact on the socio-economic 8 development of the study area. It was recommended that all hands should be on deck in order to continue to improve upon the Adult Literacy programme curriculum in the study area and in the country as a whole.

The study concluded that Adult Literacy programme implementation in Zaria L.G.A. is a viable and good programme worthy of encouragement. The prospects of the programme over whelmed the problems and should be continually encouraged by all the three tiers of government.
