Mzansi Edge “ECD Talks” (talk 13) Kayin Scholtz

The Early Childhood Development (ECD) sector has been hard hit by the pandemic. If we want to avoid a significant loss in human capital in South Africa, we have to prioritise and protect our youngest children by working together.

In this Mzansi Edge “ECD Talk” with Kayin Scholtz (ECD Resource Hub Manager at DGMT) we explore the power of collaboration within the ECD space and the profound impact we can have on the future of young children when we work together.
