Literary Program Participants
This literacy program introduced by the Department of Education in 2007 was initiated to redress the problem of illiteracy in the country. Members of the local communities of Aberdeen, Lotusville and Thembalisizwe have since benefited from this project.
The Educators appointed to instruct and teach those members of the community who have had no formal education, hold classes after school hours in the classrooms of Kamdebo Primary School.
Instruction by the Educators in the basic skills of reading and writing is also given to farm workers when they return to their homes on Saturdays and Sundays.
This program started originally with only 20 adults has over a two year period excelled both in its learning achievements and strength of numbers in basic skill learners. The age group of learners ranges from 30 years of age to 73 years of age, and to witness the satisfaction and enlightenment of these people who are able to read and write their own names for the first time at the age of 73 is heart warming.
