Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the adequacy of the human
resource requirements in the NCCE 2012 minimum standards for adult and
non-forma; education in the colleges of education in Nigeria. The study was a
descriptive survey design, guided by two research questions and one hypothesis.
The population of the study was 220 lecturers in the colleges of education in
Nigeria that offer adult and non-formal education courses. The entire
population was used for the study. Questionnaire was the instrument used for
data collection. The questionnaire was validated by three experts. The
reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach alpha. A
reliability coefficient 08.78 was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using
mean statistics to answer research question one while percentage analysis was
used to answer research question two. T-test was used to test the null
hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that
all the thirteen items in the human resource requirements in the NCCE 2012 were
considered as adequate by the adult educators. However, the percentages
analysis showed the seven suggestions proffered by the educators and the most
frequent among the respondents suggestions were (1) raising the teaching
qualifications in the colleges of education to Master’s degree in adult and
non-formal education. (2) Increase in the ratio of senior academics to junior
academics for effective mentoring. Based on the findings, it was recommended
that the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) in Nigeria should
raise the minimum qualification for teaching in the colleges of education to
master’s degree in Adult and Non-formal education.
