Abstract
M.Ed.
This study dealt with tutor's lack of training in community education programmes for adults. In most cases tutors who teach adults are full time teachers of children at day school. These teachers are working on a part time basis at the adult centres to teach the adult leamers. These very teachers tend to use the same teaching methods to teach both children and adult learners. An important contribution of the study is that it was found that the teachers were unaware that the teaching methods that they have been using to teach the adult learners were not suitable for adult learners. They need to be trained specifically in adult pedagogy.
