The collected data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Some of the major findings were: learners have negative attitudes and they have less interest about the program. Related with facility, budget is not properly allocated to run the program, the learning material is not prepared with learner's language, regarding facilitators related factors, they don't have skill of how to facilitate and stakeholder's integration is very low.
