Advancing Corrections Journal - Edition #6 - Innovation in Education - Voices from the Front Line (ACJ6-A015)
Abstract
Ekuseni Secondary school is established inside the South African Department of Correctional Services (DCS) setting for incarcerated youth between the ages 14 and 18 years. EYDC was built through the initiative of the late former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela to deliver rehabilitation programmes to incarcerated youth and equip them with market related skills for smooth transition into communities. The DCS established Ekuseni secondary school in partnership with the Department of Basic Education. This secondary school gives incarcerated youth access to market related education curricula from Grade 10 to 12. It is assumed this may improve literacy levels, facilitate reintegration, thus; reduce recidivism and crime rates in South Africa.
