Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the essence of management and policy process in adult education, and identification of the challenges and prospects for the Nigerian society, including government and non-governmental participation in education beyond the twenty-first century. Globally speaking, the management and policy process of adult education target the identification of felt needs and their applications for future development of the sector in any nation. There is a pressure on the stakeholders, including corporations to support education alongside the government provisions. This includes the demand by adult education advocates for effective policy and information on adult education programmes which are needed to contribute effectively to national productivity and leadership development in all sectors of the economy. This chapter highlighted the CSR challenges facing the educational leadership of Nigeria and made suggestions on ways government, NGOs and corporations could work together to support education beyond the twenty-first century.
