Around 250 Catholic educators attended a conference hosted by the Catholic Institute of Education to discuss issues pertinent to their work and develop their leadership skills. The two-day conference in Johannesburg drew delegates from South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho. The main conference speaker was Emeritus Professor Patrick Duignan of the Australian Catholic University, who spoke on a number of leadership aspects and challenges facing today’s educators. In another keynote address, Standard Bank CEO Sim Tshabalala highlighted the important role played by education in building the business leaders of the future.
