In this first episode, the question we’re addressing is “What is the status of education in South Africa?”

Tune in as podcast host and TAS CEO, George Eadie and Giles Gillett CEO of New Leaders Foundation unpack the status of education in South Africa, the challenges it’s facing, how covid has impacted it and some proposed solutions for a brighter future. There is hope and there is a way, we’ve just got to do it together.

TAS would like to thank you for the role you play in education in South Africa. We hope that together we can learn, grow and fuel the spirit of education in this country.
