E-Square Education Campus

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

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

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 realising 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.

Well aware of the job shortage currently facing South Africa, we hope that through education and skills development, we can do our bit towards combating unemployment in Nelson Mandela Bay and the rest of the country.
