Literacy Plans for South Africa Still on Track
The South African Literacy Campaign launched by Minister Naledi Pandor, is intended to enable 4,7 million adults to become literate between the 14 April 2008 and the end of 2012. It is through this campaign that the developmental state welcomes new learners to the portals of learning.
Kha ri gude, Tshivenda for let us learn, invites those adults who missed out on their schooling and who cannot read or write, to join one of about 20 000 literacy classes that will be held all over South Africa and which will start opening their doors on the 14 April.
The Kha ri Gude literacy campaign is a response to the call for a national campaign to end illiteracy among South African adults. As a programme of government, and as one of the Apex programmes announced by President Mbeki in his 2008 State of the Nation address, the Campaign can be seen as one of the important ways in which the developmental state prioritises the needs of the poor and addresses the right of all citizens to basic education in the official language/s of their choice.
The campaign, resulted from the recommendations of the Ministerial Committee on Literacy and is intended to provide the opportunity for 4,7 million South Africans to become literate. Achieving this target would also mean that South Africa will have fulfilled its 2000 Dakar commitment — that of reducing illiteracy by 50% by 2015.
In order for a national programme of this magnitude to reach its target, the Campaign requires voluntary support from a wide range of people and organisations drawn from all sectors of society and across all provinces, who will assist in establishing learning sites around the country, help to recruit literacy volunteer educators and work with them to recruit learners
