Change Of Plans: All Things Education

It has been very long since I posted one of these.

On this day, I celebrate my comeback. Things will be a little different here now, in that we will be doing a lot of talking about education improvement in the country and we will look at provinces like the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, KwaZulu Natal and the North West.

We will look at what the communities are doing to better their children's chances of obtaining a respectable and up-to-standard education. We will look at what challenges face the schools as institutions. We will also take a glance at the welfare of the children attending schools and we will interrogate the psychological welbeing of both the teachers and the learners, and even parents where applicable and necessary.

These and many other topics will be accompanied by our new video section where we will have a video clip of someone from the ground who will be addressing a particular point.We will also take closer glances at community-based projects as well as youth projects that are doing work which is empowering the local youth and the community as a whole, and we will talk about what they do and we will seek to inspire more young people to get involved in their communities.

But before I stop here, and as in keeping with the theme of Education, I would like to pay tribute to the parents and communities of Ntabankulu, Mt. Ayliff and Mt. Frere in the Eastern Cape, for their involvement in the affairs of their schools. Also, respect to the teachers who consistently show ambition and dedication for teaching.

We will also engage a lot of young people who are still in schools; we will try engage them on academic issues, entrepreneurship development, community work and sex and drug abuse. There are very interesting stories here and very important lessons to be learnt from these conversation and many will agree with me once we start publishing these.

Until the next post, keep working hard and dreaming big.
