| The ECD Quality Assurance Workshop continued today in Boksburg, Gauteng, bringing stakeholders together to strengthen quality assurance across the Early Childhood Development sector.

As part of this work, reviewers are also finalising the Versioned ECD Resource Packs in different African languages. Today’s review focused on ensuring that terminology, language and content are consistent, accurate and appropriate for different age groups.

Through collaboration, shared expertise and careful quality assurance, these efforts are helping to strengthen ECD systems and ensure that practitioners have access to relevant, age-appropriate resources that support young children’s learning and development.

The countdown to the 2026 National Senior Certificate examinations is on!

To the Class of 2026, remember that consistency builds confidence. You do not have to cover everything in one day. A few focused hours each day, steady preparation and taking small steps can lead to big results.

Stay focused. Trust your preparation. Keep going, one day at a time. Your hard work today is shaping the results you are working towards.
