LEAP 5 - Jane Furse: Education Illuminates Futures
Nestled in the remote Sekhukhune district of Limpopo, the LEAP school in Jane Furse has been a beacon of opportunity since its establishment in 2012. Limpopo, one of South Africa’s provinces, has faced educational challenges, particularly in the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations. The school emerges in the midst of adversity, focusing on transforming the educational landscape in a region where access to quality education has been limited.
