Announcement
Godspeed Joan
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Setshedi in the early hours of 23 March 2012. Joan worked in the GPLMS as a Foundation Phase Setswana coach supporting teachers in Pretoria.
Joan was a well-respected, valued member of the Class Act family. The dignity and gracious acceptance with which she dealt with her final illness serve as a lesson to us all. Her wisdom and humility brought great depth to the organisation. Joan will be sorely missed. |

This article was written by Moeletsi Mbeki, author, political commentator and entrepreneur. For me personally, it highlights a point I have long believed – that all LEADERS must be very well EDUCATED. And, that the only way to true freedom in this world is through education.

The Quantity & Quality of South Africa's Teachers
A Report from the Centre for Development & Enterprise
South Africa is producing too few teachers, especially in key subjects such as maths and science. Also, existing teachers spend too little time in the classroom and many teach poorly.
With research showing overwhelmingly that good teaching is vital for better student results, the Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE) asked four experts to conduct in-depth studies. Read the full report.
