Faculty of Humanities / This study evaluated the impact on learners of Adult Basic
Education and Training (ABET) programmes at Duvha Power
Station. The methods of collecting data comprised face-toface
interviews, on-site participant observation, classroom
observation and document analysis. The underlying
assumption was that ABET programmes did not have a positive
impact on either the company and individual candidates, and
that they were only provided to comply with the legislation
and not to develop and empower people. What emerged from
findings was that ABET programmes had a major impact on the
company and on the individual candidates, in their homes
and communities. The findings, however, also revealed
weaknesses and challenges in ABET level 1 that need to be
addressed i.e ABET level 1 respondents showed no further
interest in participating in the programme citing advanced
age, learning being for youth, difficult sums etc, as some
of the reasons.
