The Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Buti Manamela, will give closing remarks at the Community Education and Training (CET) Summit.

The Summit is intended to assess the progress on the vision entailed in the White Paper White Paper on Post School Education and Training, and to prioritise actions and activities that would strengthen the CET College system and position them to become key institutions for the provision of skills programmes in South Africa.

The Summit is held under the theme “Mass Skills Programme Provision”.

Community Education and Training (CET) is an emerging sector within the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) system.

The foundation of the sector evolved from the erstwhile Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) which focused predominantly on basic literacy and numeracy for adults.

Members of the media are invited to join the closing of the Summit as follows:
