Criteria for adopting schools

For a school to be eligible to become an adopted school, we require firstly demonstrable evidence of the acute needs of the school. Once that has been established we ascertain the willingness on the part of the school governing body to participate and accept responsibility for the project. We also require evidence that the SGB functions efficiently.

It is also important for the school to have committed and well-functioning educators. We thus assess these, as well as the willingness of parents to contribute to the success of the school, and the determination of the learners to participate in the improvement of their school. Once the project is underway, we expect that the school maintains the new structures and equipment properly.
