Western Cape Education Indaba: Putting Children First in a Future-Fit System

SchoolClick is keeping an eye on education initiatives around the globe! Today, we’re turning our attention to South Africa, where the Department of Basic Education is actively working to shape the future of learning.

The Western Cape Provincial Education Indaba is taking place today, August 18th, 2025, under a truly inspiring banner: “Putting Children First – Building a Future-Fit, Inclusive Education System in the Western Cape.” This sounds like a crucial gathering, focusing on creating an educational environment that’s both forward-thinking and accessible to all students.

According to the Department of Basic Education’s tweet (link to tweet), this Indaba is particularly significant as it forms part of South Africa’s G20 Presidency. It’s great to see that education is being prioritised on such an international stage!

We’re keen to see what key takeaways emerge from this event. The focus on inclusivity and preparing children for the future is something that resonates deeply with SchoolClick’s mission to highlight positive developments in education worldwide.
