Youth In Transformation

Education around the world is recognised as a key instrument in human capital development. The more educated people are, the more likely are their chances for employment, and jobs with good working conditions. While education is one of the keys to employment, access to quality education is still lacking among the majority of South Africa's youth. South Africa's education is deeply unequal. In fact, Amnesty International claims that it is "one of the most unequal school systems in the world" (Feb 2020). This is evident by the fact that children in the top 200 schools achieve more distinctions in Mathematics than children in the next 6,600 schools combined. Through our projects, we aim to address these inequalities by supporting learners from low-income communities who would not have access to these types of academic interventions. Our goal is to ensure that every young person has an equal opportunity to succeed in their education.
