Education is the bedrock of a
successful nation
Yet an estimated 81% of grade 4 children in South Africa can’t read for meaning.* We believe the root cause of unemployment is education, which is why our EduRise schools programme is vested in unlocking quality education in under-resourced schools, in the critical Foundation Phase.

EduRise takes a multi-pronged approach to supporting low-income schools to cultivate holistic academic environments
where learners and leaders can thrive. EduRise invests in four key pillars:
School leadership and management is capacitated, upskilled and mentored to work in a spirit of cooperation and deliver quality education.
Educators are enriched through training, mentorship and peer collaboration, and gain classroom confidence and accountability.
The holistic potential of learners is developed through classroom support in maths, science and English; as well as physical education, creative arts and environmental awareness.
Effective relationships are nurtured between schools, parents and communities. Learners shine brightest when school ecosystems are actively involved in their learning journey.

Under-resourced schools face many obstacles in adequately preparing learners for the future. EduRise supports all stakeholders in a child’s schooling journey, cultivating a holistic education environment that helps learners unlock their full potential.

EduRise will be focusing more closely on early childhood development (ECD) to grade 3. The crucial learning blocks of reading and numeracy are developed in these formative years.
EduRise will join like-minded partners to become a more vocal advocate for ECD, to ensure all children are able to attend ECD and all five-year-olds are ready to thrive at school.

No, EduRise does not build infrastructure projects.
All EduRise interventions are designed to assist educators and schools to better deliver on their duties. They are therefore CAPS aligned and do factor in the provincial and national department of education’s strategic plans.
No. All EduRise interventions are implemented with sustainability in mind and in a way that does not create dependencies. There is therefore a clear exit strategy that ensures beneficiaries are empowered to run the programmes independently post the intervention period.
