CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Adult education refers to the provision of instructed learning events for adults after earlier terminated or interrupted education within the regular education system. It is characteristic that adult education is arranged and organized specifically with adults in mind (Fulah, 2003). The differences to education within the regular education system can be such as the time and modes of instruction. Adult education is defined on the basis of the organization providing education and training to adults (Jenny, 2001). Adult education is instructional and related support services for adults who are not enrolled in the school. It is for adults who lack the educational foundation expected of a high school graduate. It is a form of education for adults whose inability to speak, read, and write the English Language, compute and solve problems constitutes a substantial impairment in their ability to obtain, retain and/or function on the job, in their family and in society commensurate with their real ability, to achieve their goals, and develop their knowledge and potential. This category of people is in need of a programme that helps them eliminate such inability and raise their level of education and self-sufficiency (Aback, 2000).

Adult education aims at improving the situation of people by increasing their skills, knowledge and awareness. It is the adult that could transform the nations not children. Adult education brings a great sense of dignity and self-esteem, enhanced respect of others, an ability to take control of one’s life and a greater desire to participate in society. The paper examined challenges facing adult education delivery in Nigeria which include failure of the Universal Basic Education act to give adequate recognition of Adult education as a key sector in Basic education, accessibility, under funding and lack or inadequate number of qualified facilitators amongst others. The emerging perspectives are on HIV/AIDs, mainstreaming, inter-sectoral linkages and information and communication technology. The paper finally proffers suggestions as review of the Universal Basic Education act to accommodate Adult and Non-formal education, increase in funding, establishment of more centres and make them affordable, upward review of facilitators’ honorarium amongst others

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to unravel the Psychosocial Dysfunction among Adolescents who Abuse Substance in Secondary Schools in Ose Local Government, Ondo State. The study was aimed at finding out the knowledge of the students on substance abuse, to identify the substance(s) commonly abused, to determine the age of onset of the abuse and to identify the factors that influence substance abuse. A descriptive survey design was used. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 300 students aged between 10 and 20 years. Data obtained were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Out of the 278 completed questionnaires, 224(80.6%) students have knowledge of substance abuse; 133(47.8%) were involved in substance abuse (i.e practiced substance abuse); kolanut (32.7%) was the major substance abused; the average age of onset was 13 years while curiosity (36.8%) and influence of friends (34.6%) were identified as factors that influenced them. Public enlightenment/punishing offenders (55.4%) was identified as the main measure to control and prevent substance abuse. It was recommended that parents/guardians and the school authority should keep a closer watch on the students while Substance Abuse Free Environment (SAFE) should be incorporated into secondary schools with a drug/substance free master and prefects to ensure strict monitoring of students’ activities.
