dc.descriptionThe National Education Collaboration Trust, the Global Education Leaders’ Partnership, Tshikululu Social Investments and the FirstRand Empowerment Foundation commissioned this study towards building an informed framework for innovation in education in South Africa.
dc.description.abstractIn terms of the National Development Plan 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Declaration, South Africa has made a commitment to accelerate development over the next fifteen years. Meeting this challenge depends fundamentally on the ability of our education system to equip today’s children for high levels of achievement and active participation in a global 21st century society and economy. Yet that system is inadequate in several ways, be it in terms of its teachers, teaching practices, curricula, management and the skills it imparts to graduating youth. The growing consensus is that the state of the system presents an urgent case – a “burning platform” – for doing things differently. And while there are innovations taking place in South African education, they are scattered in isolated pockets that currently benefit the few rather than the many. What is called for is a means of supporting and coordinating innovation for 21st century learning so that it has the potential to impact, at scale, the basic education system in South Africa.
