Readucate Achievements - Teach Any Child or Adult to Read

Readucate's Achievements
In the period since December 1992, over 1200 teachers, offenders and others have become Readucate Instructors. Many of them are running their own Readucate Centres as small businesses. We have operated in 23 prisons where we have taught literate prisoners and warders how to teach illiterate juvenile and adult inmates: our contribution to the fight against crime through rehabilitation. Readucate operates in six provinces where, according to Empowerdex, over 60 000 children and adults have benefited. As the Trust depends entirely on grants and donations, courses have only been conducted when funding has become available.

97 remedial teachers in the Northern Province have learned how to teach reading thanks to READUCATE course. This teacher holds classes in her home.

Remedial teachers in Limpopo have completed the READUCATE course. Many of these Instructors have not only introduced the READUCATE approach in their classes but are also running their own private READUCATE Centres as small viable businesses in various townships in and around Polokwane, Lebowakgoma and Tzaneen. Several centres cater for adults as well.

Since April 1995, 189 school teachers have become READUCATE Instructors in the Kimberley, Upington and De Aar districts.

Since April 1995, over 400 school teachers have become READUCATE Instructors in the Kimberley, Upington, Springbok, Richmond, Hanover and De Aar districts. At the average number of 40 learners per class, thousands of learners are already benefiting.

Officers and prisoners in the Krugersdorp and Boksburg prison have received training and are applying the READUCATE method to juvenile and adult inmates. (READUCATE feels gratified to be playing a role, however small, in the reduction of crime in South Africa.)
