LITERACY IS THE CENTERPIECE IN SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS
Schools struggle with resource management in attempting to meet the needs of every learner. The principal of Christmas Tinto Primary School feels the stress every day.
PROMISE OF PROGRESS
Education CAN EMPOWER THE NEXT GENERATION and SHOW A COUNTRY HOW IT CAN REALIZE ITS POTENTIAL.
We are telling stories of South Africa’s past, present and future through the eyes and lives of teachers and students, complemented by analysis from leading experts in the Western Cape. We aim to inform and inspire South Africans to fight toward providing each child with the opportunity at a life of dignity, as well as offer our global audience lessons on how education can overcome oppression.
Do you have a story that needs to be told?
