THE ROLE OF ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMME IN POVERTY ALLEVIATION
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background of study
Nigeria is bedeviled by a myriad of problems
which, despite her oil wealth, inhibit her development and even threaten her
continued existence as a sovereign state. Nigeria’s socio-political and
economic circumstances give the significant indication that many of her
problems stem from an origin of artificial colonial construct which lumped
together a variety of separate peoples. Fragmentation of the nation is seen as
a distinct possibility unless its citizens can be induced to accept a new sense
of Nigerian identity, involving a commitment to the survival of the present
state as a cohesive entity. This would necessitate a number of radical changes,
not only in the political and economic structure of the country but also in the
psychology of the people.
Nigerians have lived through series
of administrations underdifferent governments, and the question still arises,
‘is Nigeria a nation at all?’ A critical look at what the government calls
reform reveals a personally instituted concept of governance, filling the seats
of power with those they believe to be their kin, rather than have
professionals in the positions of merit, and a breed of people typified by
their integrity of heart, ingrained in the trainings and qualifications they
have received in the course of service to the nation. The increasing number of
those who are not gainfully employed or adequately educated in the country,
remain preys as political tools of violence as it has been seen in the history
of violence occurring in the country over a period of time. The country has
depended much on oil as its major source of revenue for years, however, the
current administration also fails to recognize that the future of the country
may very well depend on the economy of its people(the youths), which is
possibly the only untapped, ill harnessed, most lucrative resource of the
country. If it remains this way in the next ten years, putting into
consideration the effect of increased poverty, lack of employment, poor
educational system, it is unpredictable what the result will be. The table
below shows the statistical data of the rate of unemployment and the population
rate from 2006 to 2011 in Nigeria. It is the result of a survey carried out by
the National Bureau of Statistics and shows that persons aged 0-14 years
constituted 39.6%, those aged between 15-64 (the economically active
population), constituted 56.3%, while those aged 65 years and above constituted
4.2%. Analysis of employment data for the past 5 years show that the rate of
new entrants into the labour market has not been uniform in the past five
years.
The rate was on the increase from
2007 to 2009 but declined significantly from 2009 to 2010. The rate increased
again from 2010 to 2011. Within the five year period, there has been an average
of about 1.8 million new entrants into the active labour market per year.
Governments, or local leaders, who are generally not held accountable
for how much money is spent, and how education systems are managed,
Sufficiency attitude – What is provided for the poor is good enough
Inadequate pro-poor infrastructure or support systems this makes it
difficult to implement successful poverty eradication interventions
A lack of systematic tracking of pro-poor interventions – in this way, it is extremely difficult to
know if the activities and programmes implemented have had any impact at all.
Nigeria cannot combat the ills of the society just by raising its budget; there
should be a strategic systematic approach to education that would bridge the
gap between its service delivery and its effectiveness in the country.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Education in Nigeria is devoid of the
element crucial to averting the surging rate of unemployment in the country,
therefore the breeding of psychological dependence on direct access to money.
Entrepreneurial development through education will advance the economy of the
nation; much credence should be given to it and ingrained with focus on
profitable personal development. Unemployment prevails in the country, hence,
the growth of violence, poverty and segregation amongst citizens, because the
educational system itself fails to empower the ones passing through it. This
should be the core message of the evolving educational policy of Nigeria which
is devoid of a system of education that emphasizes on the need to culture the
country’s young through the knowledge of rudimentary entrepreneurial
development, common cultural heritage, and identification of exploitable
strengths of structures, systems and cultures of others.
1.3
Objectives of the Study
To
appraise if educational styles arouse interest of students in the industries of
their discipline.
To explore the effectiveness of entrepreneurial development
course/training in education in universities that offers it.
To see if the current university educational system stimulates
entrepreneurial creativity in its students
1.4 Research Questions
What is the relationship between Entrepreneurship Education and
Self-Employment Intention?
Is there any relationship between Entrepreneurship education and
unemployment reduction?
What is the relationship between Entrepreneurship Education and
Perceived Barriers to becoming Self-Employed?
1.5 Significance of the Study
The focus of this study brings to the
fore the crucial need for entrepreneurship and adult education in Nigeria,
putting more consideration on the educational system, strategies and its
eventual social developmental effect in the society. The study highlights the
problems of the level of education in the country and its equivalence to level
of poverty in the society by virtue of lack of employment or knowledge of how
to startup businesses. One of the MDG goals highlights education as a critical
factor for reducing poverty and dependency in developed nations. Therefore,
this thesis contributes to knowledge by identifying what is important to the
economy, which is qualitative education focused on the needs of the economy per
time, rather than the resolution of the United Nations to increase budgetary
details or increasing the number of people that go through school. This is not
the first paper on entrepreneurship and adult education; however, it is the
first to do a comparative study on what is being implemented by different
universities to see its effectiveness in order to ascertain the strategy which
would eventually help for the Nigerian economy in truly eradicating
unemployment in Nigeria.
1.6 Scope of the Study
The study examines the role of
entrepreneurship and adult education in the development of Nigeria, its
significance in the reduction of unemployment in Nigeria and including a comparison between universities
that implement para-entrepreneurship educational systems. The study considered
the undergraduates of the current university system, from levels one to the
final year, those who gained admission into the university in the last five (5)
years. This study period is considered to be relevant because of its immediate
impact on the future of Nigeria, through which one can discover if the role education
plays currently will facilitate national development. The study considers
students and graduates of Covenant University, Ota as case studies. This is
because the university have embraced entrepreneurship and adult education as
part of their curriculums for at least three (3) years.
