Technikons were established in order to meet the need for skilled
labour in the field of Engineering and Technology. Yet, within
the Transkei it is found that there is a greater need for
literacy training as a means of contributing to social and
economic upliftment as technological advancement cannot take
place within an illiterate society.
As the Eastern Cape Technikon is based within the Transkei, a
challenge is put to this institution to meet the needs of its
surrounding community. Thus besides providing technologically
-orientated education, the question is put as to how the
Technikon could address illiteracy in the area.
A study of countries which have addressed these issues is made
and an investigation into the problem within the area is carried
out. Based on conclusions drawn from these, recommendations are
made.
These do not necessarily pertain to all technikons but can be
considered when approaching the issue of literacy/illiteracy . / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)
