As a responsible member of the community, Quickshade is dedicated to being part of a sustainable economy. We recognise the role we have to play in bringing about the social, environmental and economic conditions required to achieve this. Quickshade have a strong belief that education is critical to the development of both the individual and society at large. The benefits of learning apply not only to the individual but equip parents to better educate their children. Sadly, the South African schooling system has left a generation lacking in many foundation abilities. With this in mind, we run Adult Basic Education & Training (ABET) courses in both literacy and numeracy for staff members on a weekly basis, during working hours, and using independent professional facilitators.
