“At Allianz, our corporate responsibility focus areas are on education and youth. We firmly believe that education can make the biggest sustainable impact on communities. The Allianz Maths & Science Center promotes social inclusion of youth through innovation. Ultimately with this program, the parents will be more supportive, teachers will be better educators and learners will have their best chance of reaching their full potential,” says AGCS Africa CEO Thusang Mahlangu.
“Access to high quality education is critical to creating a knowledge-based economy. As Allianz, we are strongly committed to partnering with different stakeholders to enhance access and quality of education in South Africa, in line with the National Development Plan,” he adds
Being from Soweto himself, he is thrilled to be involved in this initiative and looks forward to motivating the learners as I am able to relate to them. Mahlangu believes that with the help of other colleagues - some also from Soweto - they will be able to instill a lot more inspiration and have a lasting positive impact on the youth.
