Abstract: 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.
