AN
ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMMES
ABSTRACT
This study
was conducted to assess the impact of past adult literacy programmes on the
educational attainment of the indigenes of the ten (10) villages of Gumbi
District in Wamakko Local Government Area of Sokoto State. Three populations
were used. The first population was 361 educated persons in the ten villages;
the second population was 425 ex-literacy programme participants, while the
third one was 57 officials/community leaders. Three instruments were used in
data collection. These were two self designed questionnaires and a survey form.
The data collected was analyzed using simple percentages. The major finding of
the study was that participation of grandparents and parents in adult literacy
development programmes had positive impact on the educational attainment of
their grand children and children. It was recommended that the stakeholders
should ensure that as many people who are indigenes of the area as possible
attain the highest possible level of literacy.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
The
widespread belief that adult literacy is a panacea for human development has
been justified in a variety of instances. The rapid economic development
recorded after the 1930s economic depression and after the massive destruction
occasioned by the Second World War after 1945 in North America, and Western
Europe respectively, has been found to be principally due to human resources
input other than any other factors. Prior to the Second World War, it was believed
that only physical resources (capital) were responsible for rapid growth of
some western nations of Europe. However, the post war experience of the war
ravaged nations of Europe and their quick recovery suggested that there could
be other factors than capital that hastened the recovery. Investigations
disclosed that human skills available accounted for the variation in the
economic growth and that the labour force requires adequate training for it to
contribute effectively to the rapid growth. The revelation led to the “human
capital revolution” and the recommendation to the newly independent countries
that they should invest a substantial amount of their resources in the
education of their citizens, if they are to grow rapidly after attaining their
independence.
The Baha’i
movement, a global non-sectarian spiritual movement that has been involved in
literacy activities in a variety of ways with remarkable success in both the
developed and developing nations such as Bolivia, Cambodia, Chad, Chile, Ghana,
Guyana, Philippines, Russia and even USA discovered that literacy without which
high levels of abstract thought and insight are impossible is fundamental to
both individuals and the society. This is because literacy makes possible, the
achievement of intellectual and social development. It is also a respiratory to
humanity’s accumulated knowledge and a building block for innovation,
creativity, social and economic development of any kind. It is essential to
collective human development as not only those who cannot read and write are
cut-off from their opportunity for development, but also society as a whole is
deprived of the potential contributions individuals can make for the good of
all.
Even though
historians agreed that, Islam and literacy development came into Hausa land as
far back as 15th century, written account on literacy development in the area
under study has been scanty. It was for this reason that oral account from
those who should know in the area was adopted:
The first
oral account of literacy development in the area sought by the researcher was
from Mallam Ahmadu Maishanu an aged ex-adult literacy instructor who claimed to
be eighty (80) years old (he died in November 2010) who gave an account that
agreed with what is in the books that the colonial masters took the issue of
literacy serious around 1945 after second world war. Below is the English
language translation of his narration made in Hausa language:
