Synopsis

The socioeconomic exclusion of marginalized individuals, including youths and adults, persists in society, leading to inequality, poverty, and lack of fulfillment in life. The digital divide continues to widen the gap between those who have access to education and those who do not, particularly in the adult education space. Promoting the Socio-Economic Wellbeing of Marginalized Individuals Through Adult Education offers a comprehensive solution to this problem. The book provides a collection of original research and best practices in adult education that focus on integrating ICT into teaching and learning. This approach is particularly relevant in the current era of the digital divide, where access to education is crucial for socioeconomic development. With an emphasis on the importance of decolonization and social justice in the era of digital migration, a crucial step toward creating a fair and just society, this book covers a wide range of topics, including sustainable economic change, leadership and management within adult education, and quality assurance in adult education, among others. Led by Dr. Sampson Tawiah, a leading scholar in the field of adult education, this book offers theoretical and scientific research reports that benefit postgraduate students, scholars, policymakers, and education providers in general. Through this research, Dr. Tawiah is promoting the socioeconomic wellbeing of marginalized individuals through adult education, making this book is a must-read for anyone interested in creating a fair and just society.
