On 15 May 2025, NASCEE and TICZA hosted the first in a webinar series exploring what it really takes to shift systems in teacher education. TICZA is pioneering an Extended Student Teacher Internship (ESTI) model — bringing together NGOs, HEIs, funders, unions, and government to create real change. Using the Collective Impact approach, TICZA has learned hard-won lessons on shared measurement, backbone roles, and building a common agenda. Key takeaway? Systems change is messy, slow, and worth it.
Collaboration
NASCEE’s final Cape Town networking event of the year brought together education leaders and NGOs to discuss the Western Cape Education Department’s bold vision for 2025.
Collaboration is redefining the education landscape, as highlighted at our final Gauteng Regional Chapter event hosted by the Mathew Goniwe School of Leadership and Governance (MGSLG). Bringing together leaders from education, government, and NGOs, the event looked into practical ways to address critical challenges like improving teaching, supporting learner well-being, and strengthening district capacity.
NASCEE is driven by a belief in the power of collaboration to magnify positive impact and influence on education in South Africa.
Collaboration stands as a crucial driver for educational change, and forming strategic partnerships can significantly amplify the impact of social development interventions.
