Nine community, one in each province, have been established and include the incorporation of 3 279 adult education and training centers (CLC’s). These colleges are a new type of institutions catering initially mainly for those who do not qualify for admission to TVET colleges or universities.

In essence, community education and training offer programmes that contribute to improving community cohesion and social capital, and responsive to the geographic and sectoral needs and challenges.
