COVID-19, "New Normal" and Adult Learning: Challenges and Opportunities in an Agrarian Community
Aderogba, Kofo A.
Commission for International Adult Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) Commission for International Adult Education (CIAE) Annual Pre-Conference (70th, Miramar Beach, FL, Oct 4-5, 2021)
Before 2019, neither SARS-CoV-2 nor its genetic sequences had ever been identified. Retrospective investigations identified human cases with onset of symptoms in December 2019. While some of the earliest known cases had a link to a wholesale food market in Wuhan, China, some did not. But eventually, it spread to all nations of the world, and shutdown economies, social lives, education, and other sectors. This research studied the effects of COVID-19 on adult education in Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. It made recommendations for sustainable adult education in the circumstances of COVID-19 and similar pandemics in the community. It is descriptive and drew data and information from primary and secondary sources. Through a self-structured questionnaire titled "Coronavirus, New Normal and Impacts on Adult Learning in Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria," the community provided insight into its impact generally and on education particularly. They also made suggestions as panacea for sustainable adult learning in the circumstances of COVID-19 and similar pandemics. Records of some international and local agencies and organizations were perused. There were no records of COVID-19 cases in the study area. But the halo-effect was a great threat that devastated adult educators and learners. The community believed in and adhered to science and complemented it with traditional formulations. The community requires massive infrastructures to strengthen course delivery and administration of adult learning at all levels and in the circumstances of COVID-19 and similar pandemics.
