Funding the Future: How National Treasury Supports Math, Science, and Tech Education in South Africa

Big news from South Africa! The Department of Basic Education (DBE) is making serious strides in boosting Maths, Science and Technology (MST) education, and it’s all thanks to a collaborative effort and, crucially, funding from the National Treasury. Let’s take a closer look.

The DBE’s MST strategy is a joint project with the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation. Ms. Elspeth Khembo from the DBE highlighted the vital role that financial backing plays in driving this strategy forward. It’s no secret that investing in these subjects is essential for preparing the next generation for the jobs of the future.

The South African government clearly recognises this, and the National Treasury’s commitment to funding the MST strategy is a promising sign. This investment will likely be used to improve teacher training, provide better resources in schools, and potentially introduce new and innovative teaching methods.

We can learn more about this on the DBE’s official Twitter account. Check out this Tweet for more: https://x.com/DBE_SA/status/1958249243912659266. It’s great to see schools across the globe getting much needed investment.
