“Over 100 million children are out of school in the world. Of these 56
million are said to be from Africa. Despite gallant efforts and progress
made, many children in South Africa are still missing an education due to
poverty, HIV Aids, child labour etc. Join us in building an inclusive, just
and democratic society.” Solly Mabusela, Chairperson - Global Campaign for
Education (South Africa).



The GCE SA is a coalition of NGO’s, community based organisations, teacher
unions and students organisations. For more information about the campaign
