Abstract: Adult education is a product of a complex interplay of factors, namely; cultural, socio-economic and political. It is essential not only to create and maintain a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce but also personal development and for a just, inclusive and democratic society. The objective of the study was to establish enrolment situation of adult learners in the Adult and Continuing learning centres in Kenya. It was found out that more women than men enrolled for adult literacy classes. Men formed about 30%, while women were 70% of enrolled adult learners in the Adult and Continuing education programme in Kenya. It was recommended that the government conducts assessment of needs and expectations of the target clients to inform revision of current curriculum for production of a responsive one.
