Community empowerment through enhanced literacy

Matriculant facilitators

The selection of matriculants (those who had completed twelve years of formal schooling successfully, with superior achievements) as facilitators was important for these young people, since there is probably no quicker way to learn that to facilitate learning for others. The improvement of their chances of entry to further study in colleges or universities could not be stressed too strongly. Matriculant facilitators were supported by a stipend. Their entry to the programme was eased by a simplification of bureaucratic entry requirements, as shown later under 'Monitoring Progress'.
