Abstract
The objectives of this survey, which was conducted among two groups of respondents, namely urban small business persons and providers of small business education and training, were to:
| - | determine the availability and adequacy of small business education and training | ||||
| - | identify the main gaps and deficiencies in such training | ||||
| - | formulate proposals and recommendations to remedy the deficiencies and gaps. | ||||
Two different questionnaires were developed and used to collect data from 121 small business persons and 3 institutions concerned with small business education and training in Transkei.
An analysis of the data revealed that although training is being conducted, a great deal needs to be done in order to meet the training needs of the small business community. Education programmes are not being developed to enable small business people to cope with the problems of managing their businesses.
