  • Public education
  • Public health
  • Income, poverty, unemployment
  • Climate, environment


James Keevy represented JET in a podcast as part of the Investec Leadership Conference:

In this podcast episode ‘Investing in public education solutions’, we have education expert James Keevy. James is an experienced policy researcher that has worked in South Africa, Africa and internationally for the last 25 years. Following 13 years at the South African Qualifications Authority in research policy and international liaison capacities, he joined JET Education Services in 2014 as the chief executive. Together we’ll be unpacking public education and why this is one of South Africa’s most pressing issues. We also hope to delve into the role that corporate South Africa can play in changing the narrative both of the system at large and the individual lives of the many young people who really need us to do right by them.
