Event Details

In a world that increasingly recognises the value of diversity and inclusion, the need to address educational disparities has never been more pressing. This also holds true for South Africa - in the vast tapestry of its educational landscape, we find stark disparities that challenge the very essence of equality and opportunity. Underrepresented students, often burdened by societal inequalities, have faced daunting obstacles in their pursuit of higher education.


Towards a School of Excellence, is the journey of a collective University Preparation Programme (UPP) strategy that goes beyond traditional academic offerings and actively focuses on addressing the unique challenges faced by academically gifted students from these communities. The programme is dedicated to creating an environment that not only promotes academic success but also ensures the holistic development of its beneficiaries.


In an ever-evolving educational landscape, the quest to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in higher education, has never been more critical.
