LEAP Schools/Teach With Africa Educational Think Tank Initiative
In anticipation of its widely anticipated electoral victory in April 2009, the [African National Congress] (ANC) has begun looking for solutions to the current educational crisis in South Africa. As part of this effort, ANC leaders asked Mamphela Ramphele, noted physician, author, social activist and former managing director of the World Bank, to serve as a resource both on health and educational policymaking. After accepting this role, Dr. Ramphele solicited the expertise of John Gilmour, Founder and Head of the LEAP Schools. In turn, John recently introduced several Teach With Africa (TWA) members to the process during the TWA pilot project in July and August 2008.
