Penguin Tutoring is a well established tutoring company with branches all over South Africa. We provide high quality individual extra lessons in all subjects, to help our learners fulfil their academic dreams.
All of us at Penguin Tutoring were thrilled to hear President Jacob Zuma throwing his support behind the 1Goal - Education For All Campaign earlier this month, along with other political heavyweights such as United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
1Goal aims at enabling governments to provide at least a primary level of education to the 75 million children worldwide who are forced to face life without access to teachers or classrooms.
The campaign was born out of an agreement in 2000 between 164 nations, which set out a number of aims called the Education For All Goals, promising to provide free quality education by 2015.
Recently though, 1Goal has been focussed on the FIFA 2010 World Cup, and has made it their prime purpose to ensure that the tournament leaves a lasting legacy of education here, across Africa and throughout the world. With the spotlight on South Africa as the first African nation ever to host the World Cup, and our country’s education system facing so many challenges, what better incentive to accelerate our progress?
“The South African government remains committed to ensuring that every child receives proper education which is one of the main priorities of the campaign…we need to see action at the world cup and beyond.” said Zuma on 6 October.
The FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, reiterated that the 2010 FIFA World Cup represents a unique opportunity to mobilise energies around the globe to provide education and thus a better future for every child on the planet.
“This campaign should become the rallying point to concrete commitments by government, investors and individuals to be true to our values of universality and to the values of football - an amazing school of life,” he said.
Penguin Tutoring has signed up to join the 1Goal campaign because we see first hand the multiple effects of quality educational support.
Many of our tutors have had to overcome significant obstacles in their academic careers, but with their hard work has come an exceptional knowledge of their specialist subjects, which means they are well placed to help others make similar strides.
A well tutored learner becomes a well educated citizen, who can then in turn, help to achieve quality EDUCATION FOR ALL!!!!
