The year in review: global impact continued
Education
Education is an enabler and
equaliser for achieving
sustainable development, and it
is the most powerful vehicle for
upward socio-economic mobility.
We invest in education to improve the quality of learning
outcomes that will benefit business and society in the
countries where we operate. Our interventions focus on
improving education outcomes in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This contributes to
global competitiveness, innovation and social
development. Our interventions start from early childhood
development – preparing learners so that they have a
strong foundation for learning and ensuring students are
work-ready and able to contribute meaningfully to society.
In 2020 we had over 900 active bursaries globally. These bursaries have
been awarded to underprivileged young learners, providing them access to higher
education. About 200 new intakes were included during the year.
Excellence in STEM education at all
levels of the education value chain
To secure a pipeline of future key talent, we invest significantly in
education and skills development, ranging from basic literacy and
school level programmes to technical training for professionals
through some of the largest bursary, graduate development and
internship programmes in Southern Africa and other parts of the
world.
