Together we can do more!

The Department of Basic Education places significant value on the strategic partnership with business communities.

This belief is entrenched in the understanding that successful economies the world over are characterised by the strong and strategic nature of the engagement between the public and private sector. It is in the best interest of both Government and business to ensure that very high quality of basic education is being achieved in our schools.

How can business support the ‘Hands up 4 Education’ campaign?

• You can support by means of assisting with: • physical infrastructure • curriculum support • teacher development • school sport and nutrition.
• You may also choose to adopt an entire school by supporting all of the above.
• There is also a need for your time, skills and expertise. Whether you assist a school with its accounts and bookkeeping or offer management and leadership training to the school management or SGB’s.
