Online financial literacy programme being piloted at Ikhala currently. #SecureTheBag, from the ASISA Foundation, is designed for TVET students. This fully-funded, online programme launched 11 August and runs for 6 weeks until 22 September. Ikhala is among just five TVET colleges across South Africa selected to participate in the pilot.

The programme seeks to:

Empower students with essential work readiness, digital and life skills.
Reduce financial stress and equip students with the tools to better manage their money (including NSFAS).
Enable learning anywhere, anytime from any smartphone - without any data! (the platform is zero-rated)
Reward students with weekly and overall prizes throughout the programme (the more you learn, the better your chances!)

#SecureTheBag is changing lives through financial literacy education. But we want to change as many lives as possible - now and in the future! We want to extend this programme to ALL TVET students next year, but to do that, this 6-week pilot programme has to succeed. For that we need at least 400 students from Ikhala to register by 1 September.
