A study titled After School Programmes in South Africa: The Investment Case – was recently released by The Learning Trust (TLT), an education-focused NGO. The report made the case for how NGO after-school programmes (ASPs) are critical in reducing SA’s huge COVID -19 learning backlog and empowering our most vulnerable youth – and explains why more funding and investment is needed in this sector. 

According to the report, school closures as a result of the pandemic are going to increase repetition and dropout; and in the poorest schools – known as quintile 1-3 schools – 44% of all students drop out before they reach their matric year.
