Eastern Cape

Children are the hope and future of the nation. Consequently, the Southern African Catholic Bishops, express their deep concern about the current crisis effecting schools in the Eastern Cape Province. Access to education is a matter of simple justice for each child - and it is incumbent on Government to provide it without fail.

A Mthatha high school has again scooped a national award as the top performing mathematics and science school in the Eastern Cape.

St John’s College recently received the award from the National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) in conjunction with the national Department of Basic Education as part of the Brilliants Programme-NSTF-BHP Billiton Awards.

Eastern Cape non-profit organisation Touch Africa, which has already helped four desperately needy schools across the province this year, is now giving others the opportunity to make a difference by offering corporate team building days in schools that need help.
