With the words of Professor Pityana, from the NASCEE 2019 Conference, ringing in our ears we embarked on the journey to a new future. One in which “education enables a radical reconstruction of the future”, where schools are “centres located within the struggles of society and the community itself, serving as instruments for growth and development in order to achieve their best.”
As conference delegates, you gave us the prodigious mandate of building an association focused on “building a high-quality equitable education system for all South Africans” – we thank you for your confidence and commitment that together as non-profit organisations in South Africa we will rise to meet the challenge.
We promised to update you as we go. Whilst our silence in the last few weeks makes it seem like we have gone underground or been overwhelmed by all that needs to be done, we are pleased to report NASCEE is firmly on its way to building the structures, networks, contacts and context you asked for.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to you, our constituency, and are forging ahead in line with the mandate and trust to the new NASCEE Board.
