Education is the bedrock of a
successful nation

Yet an estimated 81% of grade 4 children in South Africa can’t read for meaning.* We believe the root cause of unemployment is education, which is why our EduRise schools programme is vested in unlocking quality education in under-resourced schools, in the key foundation phases.

Education pillars

EduRise takes a multi-pronged approach to supporting low-income schools to cultivate holistic academic environments
where learners and leaders can thrive. EduRise invests in four key pillars:

School leadership and management development

School leadership and management is capacitated, upskilled and mentored to work in a spirit of cooperation and deliver quality education.

Educator development

Educators are enriched through training, mentorship and peer collaboration, and gain classroom confidence and accountability.

Learner development

The holistic potential of learners is developed through classroom support in maths, science and English; as well as physical education, creative arts and environmental awareness.

Parent and community involvement

Effective relationships are nurtured between schools, parents and communities. Learners shine brightest when school ecosystems are actively involved in their learning journey.

No, EduRise does not build infrastructure projects.

All EduRise interventions are designed to assist educators and schools to better deliver on their duties. They are therefore CAPS aligned and do factor in the provincial and national department of education’s strategic plans.

No. All EduRise interventions are implemented with sustainability in mind and in a way that does not create dependencies. There is therefore a clear exit strategy that ensures beneficiaries are empowered to run the programmes independently post the intervention period.
