Adult basic Education and Training service providers are being accredited at an ever increasing rate due to the commitment of both business and government to providing every citizen of South Africa with the tools to be able to enjoy a high quality of life. By providing adults with literacy and numeracy skills ABET programs allow them to take their place in the mainstream of society. Without these skills these adults are limited in the choices that they can make, both within the economic sphere and within social situations. By eliminating illiteracy ABET programs are making the dream of a real rainbow nation a reality.
