We focus on attracting and retaining

young leaders

with great potential to the teaching profession, to make a lasting impact on the South African schooling system.

Through our comprehensive initial teacher training programme, we are opening new doors for young people who have a passion for promoting life-long learning, equipping them with the necessary values, knowledge, and skills to be successful in providing quality education to South Africa’s children. Each of our teacher interns is recruited through a rigorous process, to identify aptitude, resilience, passion for children, and passion for life-long learning.
