Readucate

Readucate's Achievements
In the period since December 1992, over 500 teachers and others have become Readucate Instructors. Many of them are running their own Readucate Centres as small businesses. We also operate in fifteen prisons where we have taught literate prisoners and warders how to teach illiterate juvenile and adult inmates: our contribution to the fight against crime. Readucate operates in six provinces where over 10 000 children are benefiting. 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. 97 remedial teachers in the Northern Province 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 Pietersburg and Tzaneen. Several centres cater for adults as well.

At the average number of 40 learners per class, thousands of learners are already benefiting.
The Kimberley Teachers Training College has introduced READUCATE as a compulsory subject throughout the college. In this way, prevention of reading and learning problems will hopefully become a reality within the next decade.
Officers and prisoners in the Krugersdorp and Boksburg prison have received trainingOfficers 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.)
One of the first teachers to become a READUCATE Instructor is running the highly successful UVONGO ROTARY READUCATE CENTRE, where formerly illiterate adults are progressing well.
