A basic ability to read and write is one of the cornerstones of personal fulfillment. Studies have shown that if an individual is not in possession of these skills then the ripple effect on the relatives of that individual and for the community as a whole can be devastating. Illiteracy is at the heart of many of South Africa social problems and is a contributing factor to a high crime rate and other social injustices like violence toward women and children. ABET programs rolled out by government and business are correcting the injustices of the apartheid educational system and turning a previously under educated workforce into a high productive and motivated one.

When South Africa’s first democratically elected government took office in 1994 one of the first priorities was to fix a broken educational system. Although the South African government has steadily increased spending on education it has become apparent that the legacy of the apartheid educational system has been a high level of illiteracy. Government, in close partnership with business has concentrated on rolling out adult basic education and training programmes across the country. These programmes have been increasingly successful in providing employees with basic mathematical and literacy skills. Employees are quickly realizing that an educated workforce is a more productive one.

Adult teaching differs from teaching children or even full time students. There is less time and the learners want to see results quickly. It is however, also important to note that once a person enrols out of free will, the learner is generally more positive and eager to learn. As such we encourage employers to explain adult teaching methods with their employees to ensure a positive attitude right from the start. We follow adult teaching methods that inspire, uplift, motivate, and encourage. Our aim is never to break down, but to build on existing skills. As such the attendees enjoy our classes and prefer our way of adult teaching because they can see immediate results. This also benefits the employer that receives the advantages of an education workforce almost immediately.

One of South Africa ’s most important Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs), Bank SETA characterizes itself as an “Investor in People.” Transformation includes promotion of educational, economic, and cultural equity with respect for the value of diversity. People development signifies the wide range of educational programs SETA develops and monitors in concert with its business and educational partners. Bank SETA guarantees courses’ and teachers’ strict compliance with the National Qualifications Framework. Like all other SETAs, Bank SETA does not provide training; instead, it contracts with, certifies, and monitors performance of training providers, who must demonstrate by students’ learning outcomes that they have satisfied Bank SETA’s and NQF’s requirements. Advancing the industry’s position depends on educating and empowering a literate, numerate workforce.

As South African destinations gain popularity, Theta strives to assure that a well-qualified workforce will greet and serve international guests.
