Establishing a Link between Adult Education and Community Development for Improved Teaching, Learning and Practice of the Concepts

Abstract

Adult education and community development are two areas of practices which development practitioners have recently identified as useful tools of development. However, there is confusion among practitioners on the link between adult education and community development in terms of theory and practice. The concepts are treated as if they are independent of each other in all ramifications. This discourse therefore reveals the linkages between adult education and community development in terms of theory and practice.
