Abstract

The study examined teacher continuing education and capacity building as correlates of the successful implementation of Non-Formal education programmes in South-South Nigeria in the era of society 5.0. Two (2) research questions and 2 hypotheses were answered and tested in the study, respectively. The design of the study was correlational,with the population as the Non-Formal Education Units of the Ministry of Education of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers States of South-South Nigeria. These units have Units and Out Stations Personnel, numbering 5550, who are involved in general administration, supervision, inspection and teaching in Non-Formal education programmes. From this number, 1388 were selected as sample, using the stratified and simple random sampling technique. The study had two sets of instruments. These were the validated 23-item Teacher Continuing Education and Capacity Building Scale (TCECBS) and the 16-item Non-Formal Education Programmes Successful Implementation Index (NFEPSII) designed by the researcher, in the modified 4-point Likert scale model, with reliability indices of 0.84 and 0.75, respectively, obtained using Cronbach Alpha statistical model. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient was used in answering the research questions which the r-values from Pearson calculations were converted to z-values and used in testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study show strong and positive correlations between teacher continuing education and teacher capacity building and successful implementation of Non-Formal education programmes in South-South Nigeria in the era of Society 5.0. The study also established significant correlations of teacher continuing education and capacity building and successful implementation of Non-Formal education programmes in South-South Nigeria in the era of Society 5.0. It was therefore concluded that Non-Formal education programmes will attain successful implementation as stakeholders continue to ensure continuing education and capacity building programmes for programmes’ instructors. Consequently, it was recommend that stakeholders in Non-formal education programmes should continue to ensure that teachers have access to continuing education programmes and that their capacities are built as need arises.
