    Access, barriers to participation and success among adult students at a Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) College in the Western Cape, South Africa: Keeping the dream alive
    (University of Western Cape, 2019) Andrews, Priscilla; Groener, Zelda
    The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) in the White Paper for Post-School Education and Training outlines access, participation and barriers as critical issues in post-school education (DHET, 2013). The main aim of this research paper was to investigate the relationships between access, barriers to participation and success among adult students registered for the National Accredited Technical Diploma (NATED) specialisation in Early Childhood Development (ECD) at a TVET College in the Western Cape. Although I concentrated on the interplay between the adult students’ experiences related to access, participation and barriers, my primary interest relates to how and why adult students succeed despite the barriers that they encounter.

    Access, barriers to participation and success amongst adult students in an undergraduate academic programme at a University in the Western Cape
    (University of Western Cape, 2020) Stevens, Howard; Groener, Zelda
    The choice of topic for the research paper was influenced by my experiences of attending university as an adult student and contemporary policy developments. In its White Paper for Post School Education (2013) the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) expresses intentions to expand access to post-school education for all people of all ages, including adults. The research paper focuses on the relationships between access, barriers to participation and success related to adult students who attended a university.
