There are an estimated 3.3 million illiterate adults in South Africa. Eradicating illiteracy is one of the nine prioritiesof the National Education Strategy, Tirisano.

Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) is available to adults who want to finish their basic education. An outcomes-based programme, ABET aims to provide basic learning tools, knowledge and skills, and provides participants with nationally recognised qualifications.

The four levels of ABET training are equivalent to Grades R to 9.

ABET includes training in

• language, literacy and communication
• mathematical literacy, mathematics and mathematical sciences
• natural science
• arts and culture
• life orientation
• technology
• human and social science
• economic and management science.

VCA can assist you with computer-assisted ABET in language, literacy and communication as well as mathematical literacy, mathematics and mathematical sciences.
