A review of all of the available evaluation studies of adult literacy programs in Third World settings revealed that poor program design and implementation are the causes of inefficiency. Adult education in Machakos County is bedeviled by inadequate teaching staff, funds, facilities; and unskilled part-time teachers among others. This raises a lot of concern since these challenges pose a direct threat to Curriculum implementation in the County. The purpose of the study was to explore constraints affecting curriculum implementation in adult basic education and training (ABET) in Machakos County. Objectives were to: determine perceptual constraints of adult learners on the implementation of adult basic education; establish perceptual constraints of education managers on their understanding of their role in adult education; explore methodological constraints of teaching adult basic education in the implementation of the adult basic education and identify problems facing adult education officers in monitoring and supervision of adult education programs. Research findings will assist the proper implementation of adult learning programs while Researchers will be assisted to identify the research gaps in the field of curriculum implementation in adult education. The study used descriptive survey research design and was based ona Theoretical framework embracing five main theories namely: - Adult learning theory, Mezirow’s Theory of Perspective Transformation, Systems Theory, Reference Group Theory and Gross, Giacquinta and Bernstein (1971) theory of implementing Curriculum innovations.
