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.
