Abstract:
Education is a crucial element for personal and social development, as it enhances awareness, self-confidence, and assertiveness, among other things. It is a transformative act that is necessary for growth, not just a social service. Through education, people can gain access to knowledge and shape their lives, leading to an improved quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the motivating factors for adults to enroll in beneficial literacy programs, considering both physiological and basic human needs that drive their enrollment. Adults often participate in such programs to address what they feel is missing in their lives, and this need persists until they feel satisfied. To select participants for this study, a descriptive survey methodology was employed, and one hundred respondents were chosen from specific Vocational Centers in Lagos State using a simple random sampling technique. Demographic data was analyzed using frequency counts and percentages, while chi-square was utilized for inferential statistics to evaluate the hypotheses. The two hypotheses assessed in the study were rejected. Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that a functional literacy program can positively impact adult participants in society by enhancing their social, political, and economic productivity. It can also lead to increased competence and productivity in various aspects of their lives.
