Enlighten Education Trust

Project details

Partner(s):

Enlighten Education Trust is a professional, committed and reliable education organization set up to assist the schools and communities in the "greater" Overstrand area in the Western Cape, South Africa to deal with the problems and challenges facing them with regards education.

All the projects which are implemented by the Trust complement and support each other. The interventions in schools are approached from management, curriculum, youth and social perspectives.

The Enlighten Education Trust experience has been that the quality of education in general will not improve unless the problems in education are tackled from a variety of angles.

For this reason Enlighten Education Trust intervenes in schools from management, curriculum, youth and social perspectives.

Enlighten Education Trust is unique in that, unlike other NGO's, they do not focus on one particular programme – they are not a "management and development" organization or a "science" organization. They do not deliver projects and programmes according to a "formula". They only respond to needs identified by schools themselves.

After relationships of trust are built with schools and teachers, they work consistently and intensively with them until they are confident the schools can sustain the work without Enlighten Education Trust.

Enlighten Education Trust has achieved enormous credibility with schools, the WCED and educational stakeholders as well as the community.

Our Involvement:

SAIE provides schools and educators with quality, innovative learning materials (BusinessVENTURES kits) and the requisite training in terms of content knowledge, methodology in Outcomes Based Education (OBE) and entrepreneurial development. SAIE’s BusinessVENTURES materials conform to the Department of Education’s (DoE) curriculum structure classified under the Economic and Management Sciences (EMS: Grade 2 to 9) and Business Studies (Grades 10 to 12). Learners are empowered through the quality materials and effective teaching, in order to develop entrepreneurial mindsets and business knowledge. This prepares them for either creating their own jobs or participating in the post school life in a more entrepreneurial way.

Project Progress:

Training is scheduled to begin first week in March.
