Education

SGS Consulting has been working in the field of education for many years offering services focused on monitoring and evaluation in the field. SGS has been a partner to KST in the Free State District Whole School Development (DWSD) programme since its inception in 2013 (over eight years). It formed part of KST, bringing together partners that included the Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation (CRF), Kagiso Trust and the FirstRand Empowerment Foundation (FREF), in partnership with the Free State Department of Education (FSDoE) in school improvement processes spanning two districts and over 300 schools, costing over R500 million. The value offerings of SGS include project management, concept development, monitoring and evaluation, and documentation of processes that relate to teacher development, instructional leadership, ICT processes in education, school infrastructure, direct learner support, empowerment and transformation processes, and capacity building of district officials. SGS also managed a five-year longitudinal study of learners and schools in the Fezile Dabi and Motheo districts. 

SGS drafted the closeout report for KST, spanning the eight years of interventions in the province. Report Available Here

The same processes have been extended to the Anglo-American South Africa (AASA) school improvement programme involving 108 schools in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape. SGS is project managing the AASA programme on behalf of KST. 

SGS Consulting has  completed several evaluation processes for clients including three assessment processes for the Maths Centre; Adopt-A-School Foundation of the Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation, assessing interventions and efforts at improving schooling in our country. The combination of M&E experience, project management capability, working at the interface with schools and district offices (for systemic) improvement processes, coupled with extensive experience in strategy development within South Africa and globally, makes SGS the ideal partner in school improvement in South Africa, and in the region.

"It is our hope that you arrived back home safely. Blessings to your families. It is not easy to express our heartfelt gratitude that expresses our feelings to be with you for almost 10 days in Tanzania. It was an educational, learning and joyful period for us all. You made our minds repositioned, and made our visions rethoutfully. It was a period to agree that change is inevitable and a new TCFN is possible. Thank you for your tolerance that is obvious to human-beings.  It is our expectation that in the very near future we will be proud with a new and unique strategic plan. These all are possible because of you!  We wish you all the best and hopefully, having the strategic plan is a beginning of the successful and sustainable TCFN operations. Again, thank you so much for staying and working with the TCFN team and welcome again to Tanzania".

Dear Shaun, On behalf of the Board, the Conference Organizing Committee, and Members of the East Africa Philanthropy Network (EAPN), I want to express my deepest gratitude for your exceptional contributions as a Moderator at the 8th East Africa Philanthropy Conference. Your ability to ignite, challenge conventional wisdom and offer fresh perspectives enable us to position the sector to think boldly and embrace innovative approaches, igniting a transformative wave of change beyond the conference. Your visionary leadership sparked meaningful discussions and planted actionable ideas that will shape the fabric of philanthropy in our region. You challenged long-standing paradigms and encouraged speakers and delegates to re-examine their roles, embrace collaboration, and prioritize sustainable impact; we still hope to partner in scaling this up. Thank you once again for your noteworthy support and for igniting a new era of action, partnerships, and purpose-driven philanthropy. We look forward to the unlimited possibilities of future collaborations and continuing our collective pursuit of a brighter and more equitable society.
