The White Paper on Post School Education and Training (WP-PSET, 2013) sets the framework for a different and more expanded provisioning of adult education through the new system of Community Colleges (CCs). Community Colleges have the responsibility to implement community adult education programmes that will include formal, non-formal and skills programmes. Community Learning Centres (CLCs), formally known as Public Adult Learning Centres (PALCs) traditionally offered formal learning programmes and a smattering of skills programmes. While they will continue to offer formal adult education and skills programmes, a major requirement called for by the WP-PSET is that non-formal and popular education be included in the learning programmes offered by Community Colleges and their implementations vehicles, the Community Learning Centres.
