Guests: Dr Sindiwe Magona, Rahima Essop and Yandiswa Xhakaza

Based on the backdrop of Dr Magona’s latest book, this episode reflects on the role communities play in ‘building’ schools and how community members become part of the school ecosystem. The Department of Basic Education through legislation is required to establish School Governing Bodies (SGBs). In essence, the SGB is a statutory body of parents, educators, non-teaching staff and learners (from Grade 8 or higher) who seek to work together to promote the well-being and effectiveness of the school community and thereby enhance learning and teaching. However, the ZeroDropOut campaign through its Yethu Network is strengthening relationships with communities.
