WHERE DID IT START?

In 1994, while conducting research for her Master’s degree in music, Lili Niemann began investigating the link between music and mathematics. Spending time at Eastern Cape primary schools, she soon discovered a backlog among learners when it came to mathematics.

After talking to a colleague, Lili decided to start a Saturday township school, where she could spend time helping disadvantaged learners catch up to their peers.

Twenty-eight years later, Lili’s Saturday School has grown into an education success story and that’s not just for her, but for over 38 000 learners and students as well.

Situated in the thriving urban heart of Nelson Mandela Bay, the business, now known as E-Squared Education Enterprises, consists of primary, secondary and tertiary education institutions: Ed-U College Port Elizabeth, Ed-U Options Academy (Ed-U Academy) and Ed-U City Campus (Ed-U Varsity). Each of these institutions, although different in their learner/student base and programmes, all share the same goal: to produce self-motivated individuals who are ready to tackle the next phase of their lives, be it at an education level or in the corporate world.

With a strong focus on both education and entrepreneurship, we aim to develop learners and students in a way that encourages self-motivation, one that will see them realizing bright futures as business starters and leaders. Our programmes are developed specifically around practical teaching and learning, giving learners the chance to gain experience and build on their expertise in the working environment.

Aware of the job shortage currently facing South Africa, we hope that through education and skills development, we can make a difference towards combating unemployment in Nelson Mandela Bay and the rest of the country. Our passionate and dedicated team is focused on making quality education a priority for all South Africans and the global community at large.
