Abstract: The study investigated effects of father’s highest formal education ondaughter’s participation in part-time NCE programmes in SouthwesternNigeria. Primary and secondary data were sourced for the study.Multistage sampling technique was used in selecting samples for the study.Two states (Ogun and Oyo) were randomly selected from the six states inSouthwestern Nigeria. Using the existing three senatorial districts intowhich each state was partitioned, the settlement with highest number ofadult and non-formal education study centres in each senatorial districtwas purposively selected. 250 females, comprising 125 participating and125 no-participating, were randomly selected from each of the selectedsettlements, and sampled with the use of a set of pretested questionnaire.In all, 1500 women, comprising 750 participating and 750 nonparticipating women were sampled. Only 1268 copies of thequestionnaires, comprising 559 (non-participating) and 709(participating) were returned and used for analyses. In-depth interviewswere also conducted on stakeholders in the study area. Both descriptiveand inferential statistics (Chi-square at p? 0.05) were used in analysingquantitative data, while qualitative data were content analysed. Noconcrete relationship could be established between fathers’ highest formaleducation and females’ participation or non-participation in part-timeNCE programmes, though strong association was found between fathers’encouragement and females’ participation. The study has providedempirical evidence that fathers, irrespective of level of formal educationalattainment, play significant role in determining their daughters’participation or non-participation in part-time NCE programme, inSouthwestern Nigeria.
