AB  - The digital age features complex opportunities as well as challenges in adult and continuing
education in Sub-Saharan Africa as it probably does in other disciplines. The digital age requires individuals
and communities to function maximally and optimally in different aspects of life. It has also induced the
prevalence of the knowledge economy that relies on the massive provision and utilization of skills, knowledge
and values in the information and communication technologies. This study, therefore, attempts to explore ways
in which the discipline of adult and continuing education can properly position itself for remaining relevant in
terms of helping to meet the needs of the teaming populations of Africans would still need the services
traditionally offered by its practitioners. To achieve that goal in an era of value for money requires that adult
and continuing education practitioners must first address as to whether or not, their discipline is actually still
relevant. It is only them we can come propose possible review of the kind of options the discipline can offer
as it tries to re-establish itself.
