There is low level of education in the transport sector and it has been necessary to establish a SETA to assist in improving the skills and training of transport employees. The Transport Education and Training Authority (TETA) in conjunction with Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) aims to provide basic education to illiterate or low skilled employees in the sector. A learner will receive basic reading and writing skills as well as basic numeracy consisting of number recognition and basic mathematical calculations. Life skills as well as health and safety are also addressed through the ABET courses. The course offers a certificate that will allow a learner to further his or her education or apply for a better paid position within a company upon completion of the course.

There are over 3.3 million South African adults who are unable to read or write. With the role out of the Adult Basic Education and Training programme throughout the country, the Department of Education has put its’ backing behind learning centres that are being housed in community centres. It also launched the South African National Literacy Initiative which is based on volunteers offering their services in the training centres so that more of the illiterate population can be reached. The various training centres and volunteers acting as facilitators in the centres must be registered with the Department of Education before they can begin offering services to a community.

It is important when choosing an institution that can provide accelerated Adult Basic Education and Training to your staff to ensure that they can deal with all your requirements. Make sure that the company can provide enough facilitators to provide education to a large amount of employees with regards to training and development. Also find out if the training or company can provide education in specific fields that relate to the business of your company. It is important to ensure that the company can provide facilitators nationwide should you have branches and employees throughout the country. All your employees have the right to an education that you as an employer can help offer them.

Wiping out illiteracy

Illiteracy prevents many South Africa’s from achieving their full potential. Without the skills required for reading and writing these citizens are doomed to a life of manual labour and cannot become truly productive members of their communities. Illiteracy results in both low self esteem and low productivity, both of which have negative effects on social structure and business productivity. If South Africa is to become a competitive force in the global economic environment and build a better life for all its people then adult basic education programs must be aggressively rolled out across the country. Only when these programs are a fact of life for business can we expect real growth, both for our citizens and for the country itself.
