The International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA), a non-profit organisation, was established as a result of the need for universities and technikons in South Africa to respond to international educational trends. Their mission is to advocate, promote and support the internationalisation of Higher Education by providing a professional forum for institutions and individuals to address challenges and develop opportunities in international education. It was felt that if South Africa is to remain competitive within the global economic and political environment it was important that our higher education provides opportunities for students to obtain a global perspective to their studies, and establishes international contacts which will benefit the student, the tertiary institutions, and will assist South Africa as a nation to be a competitor and participant in world markets.
“The concept of sensitizing the top 15% of achievers toward social responsibility is a humane concept. These individuals are the decision makers of the future. Golden Key infuses morality, a balanced approach between individual ambitions and corporate social responsibility and prepares these top performers to act in the interest of all humanity. Practical experience during the student years infuses that spirit of compassion and caring in these future statesmen of our continent.”
