Abstract
This study was an investigation into extent of government funding for effective management of adult education programmes in covid-19 era in Delta State; centre coordinators and facilitators’ perceptions. Three research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was employed in the study. The population of the study comprised all the 67 centre coordinators and 492 facilitators in the 67 adult literacy centres in Delta State. Sample size for the study consisted of 280 respondents (34 centre coordinators & 246 facilitators) from 34 literacy centres in Delta State selected through the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. A 20-item questionnaire developed by the researchers titled “Extent of Government Funding for Effective Management of Adult Education Programmes in Covid-19 Era Questionnaire (EGFEMAEPCEQ)” served as the instrument for data collection. The response options on the questionnaire was structured on a 4-point scale of Very High Extent (VHE) – 4, High Extent (HE) – 3, Low Extent (LE) – 2 and Very Low Extent (VLE) – 1. The questionnaire was face validated by three experts from the Department of Adult and Non-Formal Education, Faculty of Education, University of Benin, Edo State including a Measurement and Evaluation expert in the same department. Reliability of the instrument was established through a pilot test using a sample of 5 centre coordinators and 20 facilitators from 5 literacy centres in Edo State. Data obtained from the centre coordinators and facilitators after the pilot test were computed using the Cronbach Alpha statistics which gave internal consistency reliability coefficient of 0.80. This result showed that the instrument was reliable and dependable to conduct the study. Method of data collection was through a direct, hand-delivery and face to face contact with the respondents using the help of five (5) research assistants. Mean and standard deviation scores were used to answer the research questions. Findings from the study revealed among others that the extent of government funding for effective management of adult education programmes in Delta State was to a low extent. From the findings of the study recommendations were proffered. Among them included that the Delta State government through the Delta State Agency for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education and supports from other Non-governmental agencies and the private sector should provide adequate budgetary allocations and financial assistance for educational resources mobilization, educational facilities maintenance and facilitators continuous professional training for effective management of adult education programmes in Covid-19 Era in Delta State to a high extent.
