"we are pleased that Saturday School learners achieved well in comparison with their counterparts at the main feeder schools."

ASSET also provides bursaries for students moving on into further and higher education.

"bursary students are a testimony to the courage of young South Africans. Many ...from informal settlements where the environment is not conducive to learning have to travel long distances to classes. Their collective achievements are incredible with an 87% pass rate"

Quotes from Jennifer Court, ASSET Director, in 2007 Annual Report.
