During 1996, the Center for Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa, was in a process of rapid transition. Staff participated in a retreat during which a vision of CACE's work was rebuilt. CACE staff were closely involved with the Western and Northern Cape Provinces Departments of Education in the development of their adult basic education and training plans for professional development. A significant development was the launch of the distance Advanced Diploma for Educators of Adults in the Northern Cape. The Certificate Program, a 2-year part-time distance education course for adult educators, was delivered for the ninth year. Three of six modules of the certificate were completed. The Continuing Education Program conducted successful activities in these areas: provision of nonformal education workshops; CACE publications; consultations; conferences and seminars; networking adult educators and trainers; the CACE Resource Centre for provision of educational support and resources; and development of a proposal to develop a Program of Lifelong Learning. CACE continued three international exchange programs with the Fircroft-CACE Academic Links Program; Center for Adult Educators; and Steelworkers Humanity Fund. Research projects undertaken were Social Uses of Literacy Project, Adult Education and Training in the Context of Globalization, and staff research for higher degrees.
