The Western Cape Education Department has teamed up with Wesgro, the province’s official agency for tourism, trade and investment, to launch Edu Invest. This initiative aims to boost investment in education and spur innovation across the Western Cape.
Edu Invest focuses on generating investments in new private schools, including those catering to underprivileged communities. This approach aims to alleviate the overcrowding seen in public schools and improve the overall quality of education in the region. The high learner-to-teacher ratio, particularly among government-funded teachers, further stresses the need for additional schools.Looking for things to do in the city at half the price?
