Ep.6 Education: The Evolution

The Viral Wellness

Beloved audience, we are thrilled to bring you yet another episode of The Viral Wellness! We trust you have been enjoying what we have been making for you, we get more excited by the day. We have an infinite amount of topics to cover - all for your well being and entertainment.
Our latest episode is on a very important subject: education. The very fact that you are reading this description is because you are literate, an extremely important skill to have. We are sure you agree. As The Viral Wellness, we asked ourselves the question, "How important it is for the economy that we produce students who are literate, both in the world and in particular South Africa?" This drove us to explore basic education statistics that could support to children in becoming literate and chasing their dreams for the future. We were led on this episode by Alison Scott, Dr Stephanie Gottwald and Creesen Naicker - a knowledgeable, credible, experienced and forward thinking trio. Recording this episode was rather interesting...
