In the transformative landscape of South Africa, Adult Education and Training (AET) emerges as a critical beacon of hope, addressing the entwined challenges of poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy that significantly impede national progress.
The exigency for AET is underscored by a stark trend: a substantial segment of the population, having exited the formal education system prematurely, later seeks to re-engage with educational frameworks to secure qualifications akin to the national senior certificate. This demographic shift, documented in studies by Daniels (2020), Khuluvhe (2021), and Tawiah & Ngmenkpieo (2018), underscores a burgeoning demand for adult education, juxtaposed against an infrastructure struggling to accommodate this rising tide, thereby spotlighting critical gaps in provision and accessibility.
