Expansion of the pre-school with a primary school and a community college

As part of their master’s thesis for the “Entrepreneurship & Business Development” programme, Raoul Kammann and Lorrain de Silva, graduates of the Frankfurt University of Applied Science, designed a new business model for our iThemba School in Cape Town, South Africa, which is intended to expand the pre-school to include a primary school and a community college. The two graduates have completely redesigned the Community College for the school. The focus is on adult education according to the TVET principle (Technical Vocational Education and Training), the acquisition of knowledge and skills specifically for the working world.

Raoul Kammann and Lorrain de Silva were awarded with the Graduate Award by the Booster Club of the Frankfurt University of Applied Science for their Master’s thesis and their social commitment.
