Recently, the Universal Association of School Governing Bodies (UASGB) and the Scientology Volunteer Ministers formed a groundbreaking partnership to empower educators with practical tools to tackle social issues and learning barriers in disadvantaged schools. The collaboration aims to improve governance, teaching quality, and learning outcomes in South African schools, which have faced significant challenges, as highlighted by recent studies. The partnership seeks to address the critical need for effective solutions to overcome these obstacles.

Since its establishment in 2022, the UASGB has been on a quest to find solutions to the issues affecting the education sector. After discovering the positive impact of the Scientology Tools for Life program on education, the organization’s leadership decided to partner with to bring these solutions to the education sector on a broad scale.

“The Scientology Tools for Life program has already shown remarkable results in improving education outcomes,” said Mr. Marokhu. “We are excited to partner with the Church of Scientology to bring these solutions to our members and the broader education community.”
