Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the contribution of Adult Education to community development, taking as a basis the community of Ngalunde, in the district of Marracuene, Maputo province, from 2018 to 2020. To this end, the research adopted a predominantly quantitative and qualitative approach, with the participation of nine respondents. The preferred data collection techniques were semi-structured interviews and bibliographic research, combined with documentary analysis, which allowed obtaining crucial information for this analysis. Data analysis revealed that, in recent years, Adult Education has been increasingly valued as a catalyst for community development. It was found that this type of education contributed to improving the quality of life of participants, enabling some to open their own businesses, attend independent and/or professional courses and acquire basic reading and writing skills. In this way, the implementation of Adult Education benefited not only young people and adults, but also the community and society in general(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
