WHO WE ARE

The 2013 White Paper for Post-School Education and Training provides for the establishment of community education and training colleges that targets post-school youths and adults who wish to raise the for further learning, improve their skills for employability and/or progression to opportunities in the TVET colleges and university education. Nine community, one in each province, have been established and include the incorporation of 3 279 adult education and training centers (CLC's). These colleges are a new type of institutions catering initially mainly for those who do not qualify for admission to TVET colleges or universities. Government has committed to increase youth and adult involvement  in the community education and training to one million by 2030.

These colleges target post-youth and adults who wish to raise the base for further learning, improve their skills for employability and/or progression to opportunities in the TVET colleges and university education. In essence, community education and training offer programmes that contribute to improving community cohesion and social capital, and responsive to the geographic and sectoral needs and challenges.
