The sample of the study was 160 facilitators selected through simple random sampling technique. Questionnaire which was duly validated by two experts in Adult Education and one expert in Measurement and Evaluation was used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha Coefficient and 0.81 was obtained and taken as reliable. Data collected were analyzed with Mean. The findings of the study include that the facilitators were not provided with conducive physical learning environment, given appropriate reward systems, in service training programmes, adequate teaching resources and not fully involved in school decision making process.
