The Sasol Inzalo Foundation looks at the system holistically, striving to identify the causes that underlie poor performance and formulate a range of targeted interventions and solutions with our partners.
| We seek to remove bottlenecks in schooling by: |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
entrenching excellence in teaching and learning. |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
addressing the systemic challenges in education processes,
particularly relating to secondary schools, and so increase the quantity
and improve the quality of high school graduates. |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| We seek to boost the vocational skills pool by: |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
working with other parties in reviving the further education and
training capacity of the education system |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
making it possible for youth to attain technical and vocational
skills that will enable them to fruitfully contribute to the economy, so
providing the job market with qualified skills. |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| We seek to create tertiary opportunities by: |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
researching the type of support required before and during
university, to help our youth gain employment |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
supporting postgraduate studies to contribute to the South African
research and development skills pool |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
working towards having graduates with the right skills in the right
numbers for industry. |

“African businesses can become far more competitive, but African governments and their international partners will need to improve access to finance, resist pressure to erect trade barriers, upgrade infrastructure,
improve health care and educational systems, and strengthen institutions.”
