Equal Education (EE) was established on the 1st of February 2008 in Khayelitsha (a working-class community in Cape Town, with a population of approximately 700,000 people, and 54 schools). Schools in Khayelitsha, like those in other poor communities, were and are under-resourced, under-staffed and overcrowded - factors which have a significantly negative impact on academic performance.
EE aims to bring learners, parents, teachers and community members together to demand quality and equal education for all South Africans
Today EE is known nationally, and has members active in most provinces.
Equal Education's most active members are called 'Equalisers'. They are high school students in grades 8 to 12. Equalisers have a leading role in the activities of the organisation. They, along with parents, teachers, activists and community members, work with EE to improve schools in their communities.
Equal Education is a movement of learners, parents, teachers and community members working for quality and equality in South African education, through analysis and activism.
