The annual Education That Pays For Itself conference is a space for professionals to share their insights, discuss and engage with fellow delegates and participants on the future of entrepreneurship, youth employability and innovative approaches to education in schools and communities.
The conference host, LIV School, on the outskirts of Durban aims to provide increased access to and quality care through education and health care; and stimulate healthy cognitive development of vulnerable and orphaned children and impoverished communities at LIV Village and in the surrounding communities. The school was chosen as the host of this prestigious conference and will open its doors to delegates between the 30th of November and the 2nd of December 2016.
