Results revealed that the most predominant motivators of education were: “education is a vital ingredient for success”; to provide better food for the family”; and, “ to prove that the community group is also educable”.The most predominant benefits they derived from education were: “feeling more secure in life”; “the family now eats food appropriate for good nutrition”; and, “having gained more friends”.The participants differed in their motivators of education when grouped according to gender, age, ethnic group, and education and in their felt benefits from education when classified according to ethnic group and education.The participants’ motivation to pursue and felt benefits derived from education were positively and significantly correlated.
