Abstract: This paper examined the nature of adult education as an important avenue through which people desirous of receiving education might do so, no matter their age or qualification. It noted the peculiar problem of age and time on the part of the adult and the excessive emphasis on vocational skill acquisition in adult education to the neglect of value orientation and citizenship education. It recommends the introduction of social studies as part of the contents of adult education given its dual concern on skill acquisition and value/citizen education.
Keywords: Social Studies, citizenship education adult education.
