The Department of Basic Education in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, Brand South Africa and several partners in education on Tuesday 10 April 2012 launched the 94+ Schools Infrastructure Project as part of International Mandela Day in Houghton, Johannesburg.
Mandela Day is marked across the world on July 18 every year to inspire every person to take action to help change the world for the better and in doing so, build a global movement for good.
The Department of Basic Education reaffirmed the Mandela Day theme “Take Action. Inspire Change. Make Every Day Mandela Day” by launching 94+ Schools Project For Madiba, a unique way of celebrating former President Nelson Mandela’s 94th birthday this year, while leaving a permanent mark in the country’s school infrastructure.
“The 94 Schools Project originates in the former President’s strong view on the importance of education, and his world-acclaimed efforts to build an equitable system of education in South Africa,” said Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga.
