In South Africa, there are 27 000 schools, of which 22 000 are dysfunctional and which contribute annually to an already dysfunctional society.*

One School at a Time (OSAAT) believes that a proper solution for education can deliver a solution for poverty and crime. It is their belief that teachers, through a functional educational system, will become the engine that drives the change in every social and economic challenge that South Africa faces today.

Our purpose is to create an educational system that is a shining example to the world. OSAAT's short-term goal, set in 2007, is to transform its partner school, Forte High School, to a level that will deliver a pass rate of 100% with 60% of the learners receiving university exemption by the end of 2015.

And their next goal is to implement the same projects that are working at Forte High School at Itirele-Zenzele Comprehensive School, their second partner school.

By using Forte High as its incubation school, OSAAT will continue to develop and test projects that support its vision of a greater education for all in South Africa.
