“Education investment must deliver measurable impact.”

Speaking at the MST Conditional Grant Seminar, Dr Tlhabane, Chief Director: MST & Curriculum Enhancement Programmes, stressed that while sound financial management and expenditure remain important, the true measure of success is improved learner outcomes.

He highlighted the important role that strategic partnerships play in strengthening education, citing the Sasol Foundation’s continued investment in STEM education, teacher development and learner support as an example of how collaboration between government and the private sector can help build a stronger skills pipeline for South Africa.

Dr Tlhabane also commended provinces for improving grant spending and urged stakeholders to focus on demonstrating the impact of investments in Mathematics, Science and Technical Education to build a stronger skills pipeline for South Africa’s future.
