Learn with Echo

In 2010 CAE celebrated 20 years of promoting non-formal education for adults through the Learn with Echo newspaper supplement. This project enables the UKZN Faculty of Education to reach the most marginalised of sectors, adults without basic education. 

Learn with Echo is:

  • four pages of educational material for adults in English and isiZulu, available free of charge 
  • published on Thursdays in the Echo, a weekly supplement to The Witness, Pietermaritzburg's local daily newspaper
  • read by an estimated 250 000 people each week! 
  • designed for low-literate adults with incomplete primary education 
  • content: current affairs, health, environment, financial literacy, human rights and democracy, culture, and entertainment 
  • used by individuals, families, adult literacy centres, and schools 
  • focused on supporting family literacy practices 
  • available by subscription to rural areas and other provinces
  • home to the famous Mkhize – the main character in a bilingual, humorous picture story
