We begin our series by highlighting the impact of COVID-19 on the education sector in South Africa. We also analyze the lessons learned and take a critical look at the interventions that worked well for our society and the areas that need further investment.

This episode features the voices of:

• Lukwanyo, 16-year-old from Cape Town and her mother Pamela,
• Prof Mary Metcalfe, former member of the Executive Council for Education in Gauteng and Visiting fellow on the Soweto campus of the University of Johannesburg
• Pheliswa – a Teacher whose school was interrupted by lockdowns and
• Hanna Yoshimoto the UNICEF South Africa Chief of Education.

This podcast was made possible by UNICEF SOUTH AFRICA through the generous support of the German Federal Foreign Office and other partners.

Phezulu! We are Looking UP!
