This year the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government held its annual Literacy Celebration and Awards Ceremony on 11 September 2018 at Meet Mekaar Resort in Mtubatuba. Adult Education and Training (AET), formerly known as Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) offers programmes that aim to give each learner skills to help in their personal growth and development, which could lead to employment and/or further study. More than 500 learners from various government departments attended the prestigious gala dinner held in their honour.
