Thesis Abstract

Financial literacy is a crucial skill set that empowers individuals to make informed financial decisions, manage their personal finances effectively, and navigate the complex financial landscape. This research project aims to examine the role of adult education in promoting financial literacy among adults and explore the impact of financial education programs on individuals' financial knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.

The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to explore the conceptual framework of financial literacy and its significance in the context of adult education. It will analyze existing adult education programs and initiatives that focus on financial literacy to identify best practices and challenges.

The research methodology will involve a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data will be collected through surveys and assessments to measure the financial knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of adult learners before and after participating in financial education programs. Qualitative data will be gathered through interviews and focus groups to gain insights into the experiences and perceptions of adult learners regarding the impact of financial education on their financial well-being.

The findings of this research will contribute to the existing knowledge on the role of adult education in promoting financial literacy. It will provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and program developers in designing and implementing effective financial education programs that address the specific needs and challenges of adult learners. Ultimately, this research aims to enhance the understanding and implementation of adult education as a means to promote financial literacy and empower individuals to achieve financial well-being.
