Relevance, Equivalence and Progression in an Adult Basic Education Curriculum for Botswana (Report‪)‬

Introduction In many nations, adult education is being urgently asked to specify ways and means by which it seeks to enhance directly the total living, productive and competitive capacities of its target audience.

In other words, adult education is being asked to metamorphose into a vade mecum for coping effectively with globalization in its entirety.
