As 2024 draws to a close, we’re reflecting on an incredible year of growth and collaboration. This year has been full of milestones for NASCEE and our members, empowering leaders through training, connecting organisations through meaningful partnerships, and launching tools like the Education NGO Dashboard to amplify impact across South Africa.

NASCEE’s final Cape Town networking event of the year brought together education leaders and NGOs to discuss the Western Cape Education Department’s bold vision for 2025.

Collaboration is redefining the education landscape, as highlighted at our final Gauteng Regional Chapter event hosted by the Mathew Goniwe School of Leadership and Governance (MGSLG). Bringing together leaders from education, government, and NGOs, the event looked into practical ways to address critical challenges like improving teaching, supporting learner well-being, and strengthening district capacity.

NASCEE is driven by a belief in the power of collaboration to magnify positive impact and influence on education in South Africa.

NASCEE is inviting you to be part of our ‘Let Us Put You On The Map’ mapping initiative. Before you decide to participate, it is important for you to understand why the initiative is being undertaken, and what it will entail. Please take the time to read the following information carefully.

In line with NASCEE’s focus on bringing organisations together to strengthen education in South Africa, in this final session of Tuesday in the Trenches, we invited Litasa (Literacy Association of South Africa), and NECDA (National Early Childhood Development Alliance).

Collaboration stands as a crucial driver for educational change, and forming strategic partnerships can significantly amplify the impact of social development interventions.

It is incredible to consider the many innovative ways in which organisations work towards the common objective of strengthening literacy development.

A big thank you to presenters from Penreach, SAIDE, and ELET (Environment and Language Trust).

Our fourth webinar in the Tuesday in the Trenches series was again a well-attended event where we heard about innovative work from four organisations.

In our third webinar of the Tuesdays in the Trenches series, we heard from representatives from four organisations. The presentations all offered opportunities for attendees to learn more about exciting projects that are being implemented across the country.

Our second webinar of NASCEE’s Tuesday in the Trenches series was a hugely informative session where three representatives from the Department of Basic Education (DBE) discussed literacy and bilingual education, specifically the implementation of mother tongue-based bilingual education (MTbBE).
