The aim of the study was to ident-fy issues involved in the
establishment of an ABET centre in a rural secondary school. A
case study of two schools with ABET centres and one without an
ABET centre as well as a community college was undertaken. The
procedure involved gathering information on how ABET was
established and how it is implemented in the two schools.
Observations and unstructured interviews were carried out in the
four institutions. The information which was gathered was
analysed to identify themes related to the establishment of an
ABET centre. Factors which were investigated in the four
institutions included among others, strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats (herein referred to as swot-analysis,
see Abbreviations, Acronyms and Terminology). All the
stakeholders such as ABET practitioners and governing bodies were
requested to, for example, list and explain factors of 'swot'
which they were experiencing.
The analysis of the information gathered was used to inform the
’ researcher what factors to consider in es'tXL ishing an ABET
centre in a rural school,, A procedural model for the
establishment of an ABET centre is proposed in this study. The
proposed model can be used not only by the sale rural school
alone, but by other schools both in the rural and urban areas
wishing to establish ABET centres in future. The decision, to :ise
the model will depend on the evaluation by ABET implementers.
