Although ABET programs have been a great success in South Africa and government and big business remain committed to rolling out ever more ambitious and wide ranging programs there is still room for improvement. Business has to recommit itself to following through with ABET programs that address further education. It is not enough to address the problems of illiteracy business and government must go a step further and ensure that workers across the country continue their studies. A foundation as provided by ABET level one is admirable, however for a truly educated workforce ABET levels 2, 3, and 4 are required.
