Her Excellency Naledi Pandor: 'Innovation in education is about ensuring that excluded groups enjoy opportunities'
Her Excellency Naledi Pandor, South Africa's Minister of Science and Technology, highlights the need to ensure that the most marginalised – poor, rural, females – are receiving adequate access to education. She explores the link between the education offered to young people and the post-schooling opportunities they are able to access. The key message from the Minister, who is also a juror of the WISE Prize, is the importance of promoting innovation: teaching students how to respond and adapt to a constantly changing world.
