CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP AT JET EDUCATION SERVICES

Dr Nick Taylor, CEO of Jet Education Services for the past 16 years, is to step down on 1 October 2009. He will be replaced by Programme Director Godwin Khosa.

Khosa (36), a former teacher, researcher and manager of the Khanyisa Education Support Programme, one of the country’s most successful school development initiatives, joined JET in 2003. He was promoted to Programme Director in 2007.
“I am delighted that Nick has agreed to stay on at JET as our first Research Fellow, continuing with the work which has made him a household name in education circles,” said Khosa.

JET Chairman Jeremy Ractliffe said: “Godwin has been knocking on the CEO’s door for some time and is the perfect choice to take JET to the next level. The change of leadership will release Nick from his management responsibilities and allow him to focus on his passion for educational research and evaluation.”
