THE GREAT ESCAPE 111 KDA EDUCATION CONFERENCE
03 – 05 JUNE 2011
Kids Development Academy (KDA) is hosting its annual teaching conference in Stellenbosch. All schools know that rein- venting a school and to stay relevant is a continuous process – one we tend to ne- glect when the going is good or our focus is elsewhere. Yet, sustainability hinges on our ability to benchmark ourselves to find our blind spots and to ask for objective advice.
There are pivotal times in the life of an en- terprise when an infusion of critical thinking from multiple points of view can guide you along the road to success. Because schools reach these junctions more often, we have introduced The Great Escape KDA Educa- tion Conference puts you face-to-face with a panel of exiting educationalists, business leaders, motivational speakers, etc.

AFRICA’S FUTURE EDUCATION CONFERENCE
13 – 15 JUNE 2011
Jacob Zuma highlighted education as a key priority for the South African government, saying success in education would deter- mine the scope and extent of the coun- try’s future growth and development. Our schools do not provide the skills to enter the job market, leaving the incubation of business too late down the road. Should we not be looking at filtering this kind of care into secondary education?
Education in Africa is poor and far behind the rest od the world. Too many of our schools have not been reached with the correct curriculum and those who have, do not have the money for books or the tech- nology to access the work. Much is said by government but implementation and action is falling behind. The Africa’s Future Educa- tion conference will seek to deal with these very important issues.

It looks at critical issues af- fecting schools, FET colleges and universi- ties and provides a forum for representa- tives from all these institutions, as well as government, publishers, e-learning provid- ers and corporate organisations, to bring new ideas, tested strategies and real solu- tions to improve institutional global com- petitiveness through quality in education for all.
The challenges facing the education sec- tor cannot be addressed in isolation, and Education Week brings together individuals with diverse areas of interest, knowledge and skills to share their ideas and work in unison to ensure that educational institu- tions adequately prepare our youth to be- come productive members of society, and eventually take their place as our future leaders, hence the theme for 2011: Bridging the skills gap through quality education for all.
