Teach With Africa Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela

Without intervention, more than 75% of children in South Africa are destined for a lifetime of poverty. Teach With Africa is working to change that by helping children overcome the socioeconomic barriers to a quality education so they can transform their lives, their communities and their future. Over 50% of South African high school students drop out before graduation. South Africa needs 25,000 n

ew teachers every year – but only 6,000 teachers are trained annually. Less than 25% of mathematics teachers in South Africa are competent at the level they teach. Only 28% of black South African students pass the national high school exit exam, and only 5% qualify for university application. Studies show that there is a strong correlation between teacher quality and student achievement. Teach With Africa’s goal is to increase local capacity by sending educators to both teach and learn. Teach With Africa supports academic programs, sustainability efforts and social entrepreneurship initiatives by placing highly qualified educators in underserved schools in South Africa.

Today mark the Day of the African Child, a day that “pays tribute to the 1976 student uprising in Soweto, South Africa, which resulted in the killings of students who demonstrated against the poor quality of education they received and demanding to be taught in the own language by the apartheid regime.” The Day is an opportunity for those “involved in protection and promotion of children’s rights in Africa to come together, to consolidate common goals and to tackle obstacles that stand in the way of achieving an Africa fit for its children.” —ACERWC
