A STUDY ON
THE ENROLMENT AND COMPLETION PATTERN OF FEMALE ADULT LEARNERS ATTENDING ADULT
LITERACY PROGRAMME
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Literacy
which involves the skills of teaching, writing, and learning, is the bedrock of
any meaningful development of any country, Nigeria inclusive. No society can
develop beyond its literacy level. The human capital resources of a country can
function only within the ambit of their literacy level. Illiteracy has been
said to be a world problem that can hamper growth and development especially in
developing countries Like Nigeria. Otagburuagu (2007) asserted that a UNESCO
human development report shows that between 1970 and 2001, 950 million adults
in developing countries were described as illiterates not able to read nor
write. Portraying the state of literacy in Nigeria, Otagburuagu further noted
that out of over 170 million Nigerians, more than 60 million people are
illiterates. The high level of illiteracy in Nigeria has been a major source of
concern for successive Nigerian government over the years. Former president of
Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo (2000) was of the opinion that inspite of the
government’s efforts of combating illiteracy; over 50% of Nigerians were
illiterates. The President also bemoan the wide gender disparity among the
literate citizens of Nigeria stating that 62.5% literate Nigerian are males
write only 39.5% are females. The awful illiteracy level in Nigeria especially
among the women folk could have resulted to the giant stride taken by the
president towards the eradication of illiteracy by launching Universal Basic
Education (UBE) in 1999. UBE Programme aims at combating illiteracy among
children; youths and adults by providing free and compulsory education. There
is high level of school enrollment as a result of the introduction of UBE.
There has been high level of sensitization among illiterate adults, especially
women on the importance of enrolling in adult literacy classes. However,
literacy is not acquired for its own sake. It is a means to an end. For adult
literacy programme to be meaningful in the lives of the recipients, it has to
be functional. According to Offorma (2007), functionality is the ability to
transfer knowledge gained from scholarship to solve ones or societal problems.
Asiedu and Oyedeji (1985) stated that functional literacy is an intellectual
equipment for the individual to enable him/her become not only literate but
perform other tasks that are of benefit to him/her and to the society in which
he/she lives. Functional literacy is work-oriented, career, or occupation
oriented literacy. Women in West African countries are generally impoverished,
live in servitude and relegated to the background due to illiteracy. Therefore
literacy programme for the women should not be limited to just teaching,reading,
writing and computing. Adult literacy programme for the women should be
functional, treating the women participants in a group context within an
environment or occupation with a view to satisfying their collective and
individual needs in order to make them functional members of their society.
STATEMENT OF
THE GENERAL PROBLEM
Based on
this study, the enrolment and completion pattern of female adult learners
attending adult literacy programs in Gordon dutse women centre of Kano State
and in Nigerian generally, women have been relegated to the background. They
are therefore seen as second class citizens which is stigmatization at the
highest order. They are seen as a reproduction means only useful for children
up-brining. Excluded from neither taking
up official appointments nor appearing in public places and functions. The
belief was that women are to be seen and not to be heard. Women are denied access to western education
as they are believed to be another man’s properties. Nigerian parents out of
ignorance paid greater attention to the training and education of their male
child; women were victims of all kinds of traditions and beliefs. The eventual
result is that they were neglected, illiterates, unexposed and do not
contribute to socio-economic and political development. The researcher in this
study tries to investigate the literacy education programme that has been in
place for the women as to the government in Kano State in particular realized
the need for women literacy education in order to empower them. It is also
believed that providing women literacy education for women would re-awaken them
from mental slavery, create awareness and make them useful to themselves.
Literacy education on empowerment of women will enable them become
socio-economic buoyant, self-reliant and more actively engaged in their
country’s social, political development and yield high dividends. It will serve as a process of eradicating
inequalities between women and their male counterparts.
AIMS AND
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The major
aim of the study is to examine the enrolment and completion pattern of female
adult learners attending the adult literacy program in Gordon dutse women
centre Kano state. Other specific objectives of the study include;
To determine the benefit of female adult
literacy programs.
To examine the frequency of female
enrolment and completion in adult literacy programs in Nigeria.
To determine the factors affecting female
enrolment and completion pattern in adult literacy programs.
To highlight the need for female education
in Nigeria.
To recommend ways of improving female
enrolment and completion in adult literacy programs across Nigeria.
RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
What are the benefits of female adult
literacy programs in Nigeria?
What is the frequency of female enrolment
and completion in adult literacy programs in Nigeria?

RESEARCH
HYPOTHESIS
H0: The
enrolment and completion of female adult learners does not have an effect on
the development of adult education in Nigeria.
H1: The
enrolment and completion of female adult learners has an effect on the
development of adult education in Nigeria.
SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
The study
would greatly benefit government at all levels especially the Kano state
government and other related stakeholders as it would reveal the enrolment and
completion pattern of female adult learners attending adult literacy programs.
The study would also benefit students, researchers and scholars who are
interested in developing further studies on the subject matter.
SCOPE AND
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study is
restricted to the enrolment and completion pattern of female adult learners
attending adult literacy programs in Gordon dutse women centre,Kano state.
LIMITATION
OF THE STUDY
Financial
constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher
in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the
process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview).
Time
constraint- The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other
academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the
research work.
