With the theme for World Education Week being ‘Learning Today’, Learn to Live will share more on their programme related to enhancing employability, entrepreneurship and life skills for vulnerable youth in South Africa.
This collective of schools will band together in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on Quality Education (SDG 4). The event is an effort by 30 civil society organisations, led by a globally respected driving force in the education, international development, philanthropy and technology sectors, Vikas Pota.
Working closely with the South African National Department of Education, Assoc Prof Ryan supports the Ecubed Programme promoting Entrepreneurship, Employability and Education. Equipping every learner to be an active participant in the world of work and to lead a fulfilled life.
