The Department of Basic Education in collaboration with the NECT successfully hosted the Second Partnerships for Education Business Dinner on 18 March 2026 at the UCT Graduate School of Business in Cape Town.
This outcomes-driven engagement brought together leaders from business, education, and civil society to strengthen collaboration aimed at improving learning outcomes for learners across South Africa. The event featured a keynote address and served as a strategic platform to reflect on progress achieved through partnerships.
The annual event continues to play a critical role in aligning priorities, deepening collaboration, and mobilising support for key interventions that advance the quality of education. It reaffirmed a shared national commitment to delivering meaningful and sustainable improvements in the education sector.
