Advocating Partnership Structure for the Attainment of Adult Education Component of Education 2030 Agenda in Nigeria
Abstract

This paper is written advocating the need for a partnership structure comprising all stakeholders (government, private sector, nongovernmental organisations, civil society organisations, and international development partners) in the attainment of the goals and objectives of adult education contained in the sustainable development goal 4-Education 2030 Agenda. The need for
advocating partnership structure is necessary because despite concerted efforts by the government coupled with different educational policies by successive administrations, the adult education sector in Nigeria has not achieved the desired goal in reducing to the barest minimum illiteracy level in the country. The
2030 Agenda has dictated a global pace and required standard for what is expected of our educational system through the targeted sustainable development goal 4. This goal may be another tall dream if all stakeholders are not encouraged to partner so that Nigeria can join other countries of the world in this universal move. The paper therefore examined the activities of all stakeholders and concluded that since government cannot do it alone, other stakeholders like
NNCAE, NOGALSS, institutions of higher learning, among others need to partner with the government at all levels to berth adult education sector in Nigeria to a safe haven by the year 2030.
