    The purpose of the present study was to investigate Factors that Affect the Enrollment and Implementation of IFAE in some selected kebeles of Sebeta Town. For this purpose a mixed research design which uses both qualitative and quantitative data method was employed. The study conducted on 88 randomly selected adult and non formal education students from Sebeta town. Data collected using questionnaire were analyzed using quantitative data collection methods like percentage and data collected using qualitative data collection method was analyzed using thematic data collection method. Accordingly, it was found out that there was low enrollment of students into adult and non formal education in Sebeta town. This low enrollment is due to challenges related to lack of time to participate in formal and adult education, lack of budget to run adult education. Besides, nature of contents included in adult and non formal education is not something that is directly related to the life of adults. Moreover, the goal of adult education is not directly related to the goal that the adults put. Moreover, some adults have related their education with their self esteem. Besides, time schedule and contents did not consider the existing situation of adults who have lots of responsibilities. Teaching adults has its own methodology; lack of training on adult and non-formal education ,lack of uniform rules on adult and non formal education were some of the factors that constrain the implementation of adult education. Finally, It was recommended that awareness creation training has to be given for the population through different media like radio and different social networks both for adults and the society at large on the overall impacts of adult and non formal education
