| dc.description.abstract | The study was carried out in Webuye Division. The study aimed at assessing the impact of adult literacy education on community development and whether it is viable and powerful potential to generate community development. The dissertation is comprised of five chapters starting with the background of the study, literature review, research methodology, data presentation, interpretation and analysis through summary of the major findings, recommendations and conclusions. Chapter one focuses on introduction and the background followed by chapter two which presents the review of related literature. Methodology used in this study is discussed in chapter three. The next chapter presents the findings and interpretation of results. The conclusion and recommendations from findings are presented in chapter five. Data presentation and analysis of findings answered the research questions raised in chapter one. The major findings show that adult literacy education has a big impact on community development in the following aspects: Social transformation and sustainable growth, promoting behavioral change and modification, accessing new information to develop intellectual powers of the mind, social sector development and promote social change to reform the society, primary health care and HIV/AIDS prevention, improvement of quality of life to enhance personal growth and development and critical awareness to bring about fundamental social, political and economic changes. I have given suggestions and recommendations which might lead to more development in Webuye division. Let this dissertation help the policy makers in redesigning Kenya's adult literacy education and public education policies and systems so that they facilitate a divergence in style and approach and a high level of local judgment and flexibility. | en_US |
