| dc.description.abstract | Globalization and a continuous advancement in technology have necessitated a need for
employees or any person with his or her own business to be trained and re-trained. The purpose
of this study was to determine the factors that influence learner participation in the Adult
Education Programmes offered in Kenya. These include factors such as living standards, career
development, acceptance / recognition by the society and curiosity to know how to read and
write. This paper concluded that, living standards, career development, acceptance / recognition by
the society and curiosity to know how to read and write all influence participation in Adult
Education programs. However, career development and living standards were the main factors
influencing participation in AEP .The study used a self administered questionnaire and interview,
which was distributed purposefully and some randomly to 51 participants. The responses were measured
by using descriptive statistics, and results were presented in frequency tables, bar graphs and pie charts. | en_US |
