Government leaders have placed education at the heart of efforts to transform the continent’s children – and drive long-term economic growth.
At the Africa Day celebration at Freedom Park in Pretoria, officials highlighted the role of education in building the Africa envisioned under this year’s theme: “building the Africa we want through solidarity, equality and sustainability.”
Africa Day
Freedom Park came alive with music, cultural performances, and formal addresses, as South Africans joined the rest of the continent in marking Africa Day.
This year also marks the 11th edition of Africa Month, focusing on unity, heritage, and sustainable development.
Gauteng Health MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko stressed the importance of seeing education beyond just the classroom.
“Education does not only happen in the classrooms. It happens in the theatres, in our libraries, and in our sports fields, through the preservation of our indigenous languages and cultures.”
Nkomo-Ralehoko added that the government must continue investing in education to empower future African leaders.
