CONFAMA:


Many of you who studied the "great" courses in schools usually end up being teachers....

Smh

Shake am well well

tosyne2much:
I like your spirit. You're inspiring

Thanks dear

Like yours

Chizzyjoyce:


Thanks alot

I'm most indebted to this

You shouldn't be. I graduated from the faculty of education in UI myself so I understand and empathize with you. I studied library science. I got automatic employment to work in a well equipped library in one of the leading private universities in Nigeria while I was on IT.

The fact is, their is tremendous job opportunities out there for people like us more than people who studied engineering and accounting. New schools and private universities are springing up everywhere these days.

Even those people from other faculties that manage to get employed as contract staff in banks and other various establishments, how much are they collecting?

There is nothing like contract staff in the education sector. What you see is what you get, no shortchanging.

the same people who are attacking the Op concerning the course of study are still the same set of people who will or must attend adult education classes, lectures and schools when they travel overseas, so as to meet up with the educational standard of that country, see language learning for instance and also for certification for some short courses for work permit

Imagine, I believe most people attacking her are immature kids who knows nothing about life... Smh

well one can't blame them, the Nigerian educational system has made the youths believe that some courses studied are not of use to the benefit of country, meanwhile goto other countries, when you hear names of some courses you would cover face.

take for example, the spartan education system that was practiced in ancient Greek is what is being practiced in primary n secondary schools overseas and I think some here, where physical and mental abilities are put into consideration during the course of learning and also how boarding schools came about.

it would be of note to point out how spartan kids were beaten when sent out to the community to test them, only because they were caught, but what do we have here in Nigeria?

Unconsciously I said

Chizzyjoyce:
My Name Is Akahara Rejoice Chizoba. A student of UNN to be precise from the greatest department of Adult Education.

For those who are just getting to know that a Department like this does exist will be eager to know why "greatest" is attached to it when it's not even among the so-called professional courses like Medicine, Law, Engineering and others not mentioned. Feel free as I take you on the ride of giving you reasons why my department is not to be made fun of but to be awarded her greatness which she so deserves.

To those of us in this great department, our Department is not a scornful one and in fact I'm so proud of the department and hoping you are.

It was always cumbrous then for me to tell the sincere truth to anyone who cared to know what I was really studying in the University. I always feared response like, how is Adult Education gonna help you in Life?? Are you even an Adult to Start With? Why didn't you go for a better course and I can tell that these response which took the question form provoked me into going on a deep research to know how Adult Education is gonna help me in Life and why I'm actually studying it.

There's always this first meaning that almost everyone subscribes to when staged with the concept Adult Education - Education for the aged whereby they carry their lamps heading towards the village hall at night to learn how to recite the alphabet in their native language. What If I tell you Adult Education is weigh beyond this?? Will you think I'm trying to mask or bury a simple truth simply because I wanna respect or restore my dignity?

Just feel free to read on as I'm gonna make this informal concise work of mine very educative, informative and pervaded with morals as well.
Please permit me to give my own definition of what Adult Education is. To start with, I wanna break the concept to a comprehensive one thereby picking out the terms in it.

So who is an Adult??
I'm sure this word does not really lend itself to an easy definition maybe because of it diverse usage or complexity in nature but not to crack the Rock, there has to be some definitions for it still.
An adult is someone who accepts responsibility, makes independent decisions, and becomes financially independent. An adult can also be seen as an individual whose age and biological state requires an expected or a particular set of behaviour both to himself and to the society at large. There are other parameters used in explaining the word in divergent views like age, social status, reasoning capacity and so on.
What is Education?
Providing a proper definition of Education is complicated by the fact that there is not a clear consensus about what is important about being and becoming educated in life today.
According to Wikipedia, Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.
Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.
I think I've done justice in defining the terms and lemme quickly run down to what Adult Education means.
Adult Education prepares people for life either for the now or the tomorrow yet unseen and it's not just concerned with helping people with life's situations but helping them become successful In things they do. With the help of Adult Education, an individual who is perceived as an adult will have his competency increased, he gains greater fulfillment in life and is aware of solving his problems. Sorry for not giving a conceptual definition of Adult Education just felt like going straight to the point.

This is really a hypothetical reasoning which places the department in a devalued situation.
Many people directly or indirectly attribute age to adulthood which brings bout the question "Are you even an Adult To Start with" when you tell them the Course you're studying. As small as you are, you're busy studying a Course meant for our grannies, was the exact comment my aunt gave me when I told her I newly got admitted into Adult Education. I don't know if I'll be countered to say that Adulthood is not solely based on age but an emotional maturity channelled to self- reasoning? Age is not particularly a good indicator of maturity although it’s something we need to add for practical living since it's relative to reasoning.

Adult are part and parcel of the development of any country, what happens when the Adults are not educated?? Does the country still develops??

More to come.....
Still buffering........

Trust me I'm not done with this wordings of mine

Just looking up for your recommendations or comments to continue.. Everyone's suggestion is highly recommended here

I'm a proud Educationist

I'm an Adult Facilitator

Chizzyjoyce:



Can I say it's just your opinion..

If I was really sorry from low self esteem I won't have the nerves to fess up openly to being proud of my department...

Don't Conclude for me instead try to work a day with my shoe to understand my hurt..


your comment is still well appreciated Sir

Chizzyjoyce:

Na the misconception I dey clear ooo

sunnyeinstein:

My career goal is to become a facilitator for Adults there is more to this tho. Also when you talk of a career goal it has to do with a specific statement that explains what profession you want to pursue throughout your life or working life

Chizzyjoyce:


What we get in school ain't often streamlined with what the society is expecting.

The relevancy ain't related and I'm aware


But Does that mean We should throw formal education into a bin??
Allow Ourselves to breed misconceptions??

No, overhauling of curricula

Am also an adult education graduate, university of Benin.though I combined it with political science and public administration. There's no point trying to explain what the course is all about cause no one will understand except you passed through that department. Some of our colleagues in other department in the same faculty sometimes makes mockery of the course.I think the name should be changed.Adult and non formal education is a nice course though,but it is advisable you combine it with a course that can be taught in school that's how its done in uniben but its very tedious Sha.I don't have any regrets as regarding what I studied .just concentrate on your study and make sure you graduate with a good grade.you sound very intelligent, keep it up
