Celebrate Nelson Mandela's Legacy in Education
Just before he formally retired from public life, President Nelson Mandela established the Nelson Mandela Institute (NMI) to take forward his legacy work in education.
The organisation works in long term partnership with teachers, community leaders, parents and children to create sustainable and quality primary schooling serving poor communities, working toward the goal that every child learns to read, write and work confidently with numbers by the end of primary school.
As the world celebrates Mandela's Centenary, the NMI is ready to take these methods and innovations to wide scale.
