READING CLASSES -READING INTO THE FUTURE

Many South African adults have faced considerable barriers to learning: poverty, poor facilities, no classes at all and a lack of facilities and resources which has ended up with ongoing struggles with illiteracy and poverty, but the present government is focused on education for the poor and illiterate, and reading classes have been established all over South Africa to bring about a change, and to bring the chance of improving one's lifestyle.

The argument that adults are too old to learn glosses over the systematic deprivation of adults in the past, and the obligation of the democratic state to correct this situation, and there is strong evidence that adult basic education has the ability to transform learners' sense of themselves, to build confidence and to equip learners to participate actively in respective communities.

The absence of a culture of reading is a major concern in South African society and in the Southern African region. Reading classes provide instruction in small groups, facilitated by tutors who are recruited and trained. Some of the educators were once learners themselves, passing the senior certificate subjects, and then going on to train as ABET educators! These educators specifically provide real inspiration to motivate other learners because of having been in these reading classes themselves. Classes are available throughout South Africa in areas where some people would believe there couldn't possibly be, with hours and times to suit the pace of some of the adult learners who have to hold down a job as well. Reading promotion with reading classes is not a new idea; there are plenty of organisations in both the public and the private sectors that have been promoting reading for years. Triple E, one of the top five ABET providers in South Africa is one such company, and our aim is to also help build a nation of readers and to encourage any initiatives that promote literacy and reading.
