Universities Offering Adult And Continuing Education in Nigeria (2027)

Adult and Continuing Education equips students with the knowledge and skills required to design, manage, and deliver educational programmes targeted at out-of-school adults, working professionals, and marginalised communities. Students explore curriculum development, literacy education, vocational training, community development, and the psychology of adult learning. The programme also addresses non-formal education policy and human resource development within Nigerian and African contexts. Graduates pursue rewarding careers as adult education officers in government ministries, community development specialists, training and development managers in corporate organisations, and literacy programme coordinators with international NGOs operating across Nigeria. Practitioners in this field often engage with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, which regulates professional teaching practice and upholds educational standards nationwide.
