| dc.description.abstract | The Purpose of this study was to assess the implementation of Integrated Functional Adult Literacy Program in Metekel Zone of Mandura and Pawi woredas. Descriptive survey research design was employed. Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through questionnaire, interviews and observation. The IFAL centers were selected using simple random sampling and the facilitators and learners were selected using table of sample size determination following simple random sampling techniques. Of the total sample size of the two study groups, 78 (97.5%) IFAL learners and 36 (90%) facilitators filled in and returned the questionnaire. In addition, six (6) IFAL program coordinators and two woreda educational supervisors were interviewed. The collected data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages and chi-square test. Some of the major findings were: Mostly IFAL program was planned by government bodies without full participation of other stakeholders. The planning process was carried out without need assessment and the needs of the learners and the large society were not properly considered, there were no clearly stated roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and IFAL was not organized through formulated legal structure. It was found that the number of learners coming to IFAL, the achievement of IFAL objectives, level of community involvement in IFAL, number of facilitators who devoted their time for IFAL and the level of evaluation and monitoring system of coordinated sectors were low. The major challenges identified were absence of budget, lack of awareness by the community, inconvenient location of IFAL centers and inconvenient time table, lack of incentives for facilitators, and shortage of pre-service training for facilitators, absence of commitment of facilitators, and lack of motivation of facilitators. Thus, to improve the situation, it is recommended that: there should be incentives for facilitators and coordinators, it is advisable to supply sufficient facilities through the participation of the society, allocate sufficient budget in advance of the program implementation, prepare guideline for coordinated sectors at center and create learner’s awareness. | en_US |
