SA President to open ECD Leadership Summit

Date: Mar 17, 2025

South African (SA) President Cyril Ramaphosa will open the Bana Pele (Children first) Early Childhood Development (ECD) Leadership Summit in Johannesburg this morning.

The summit is co-convened by the Department of Basic Education and Business Leadership SA.

The aim of the summit is to mobilise a public and private coalition behind the department’s 2030 ECD Roadmap for quality, universal access to early learning.

Currently, over 1.3 million children are not enrolled in any form of early childhood development programme, leaving them without the foundational literacy and numeracy skills required to succeed in school.

This has forced them not to take on critical subjects like Mathematics and Science in later years.
