South Africa is a country brimming with potential. Not only do we have a wealth of natural and mineral resources to grow our economy on, we also have astounding and abundant human resources. Sadly, as a country, we have not yet been able to fully grow and develop the vast human potential that lies largely dormant. The reason for this disappointing reality can be found in a public education system that has largely failed to provide young South Africans an education that will unlock the many opportunities that exist in our young democracy’s economy.
