1.1            BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Adult education is the practice of teaching and educating adults. This is common in the workplace, as well as through 'extension' or 'continuing education' courses in secondary schools, colleges, and universities. Folk high schools, community colleges, and lifelong learning institutes are among more venues to acquire adult .   The practice is also known as 'Training and Development.' It has also been called andragogy (to distinguish it from pedagogy).   Adults learn in a variety of ways, one of which is through combining their experience with what they can observe. When it comes to learning, children are thought to learn faster than adults. Children find it simpler to grasp and learn since there is nothing to divert their attention or concentration, such as thoughts, fears, and so on. Learning in maturity is not the same as learning in infancy. To comprehend adult undergraduates, we must dig at and understand how adults learn entirely, not just partially. Adult education instructors are more experienced and knowledgeable in this subject of study.
