Western Cape Education Department
Through the Rapid School Build (RSB) programme, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) is building more accessible and resilient spaces for learning and play, using rapidly scalable construction methods tailored to the needs of local communities.
The RSB initiative is a deep-rooted, dynamic and tangible response to the provincial government’s clarion call to restore the self-worth of young people.
This nomination showcases a transversal team of public officials' tireless commitment to building change coalitions and pioneering a “learning-by-design” methodology that captured the public’s imagination.
