Education and Employment

There are a range of education and employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities in Fife.

ABE Classes

The Adult Basic Education (ABE) service in Fife provides free tuition for adults who want to improve their basic skills in reading, writing, spelling, numbers or basic IT/computer skills. They run small groups and short courses at venues all over Fife. Everyone has their own learning plan and works at their own level and pace in a friendly and informal setting.
