In December 2015, the NECT organised a national school safety summit involving over 200 stakeholders representing business, government, labour, SGBs, NGOs and independent and academic institutions. The summit resulted in the adoption of a school safety declaration by key education stakeholders. Forty leaders from government, business, teacher unions and civil society met to talk about how to work together to implement the NDP chapter on education. As a result of this dialogue a decision was taken to develop and an Education Collaboration Framework which will guide the collaboration of partners to improve education.
