WORLD EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP (W.E.F.)
The World Education Fellowship was founded in 1921 as the New Education Fellowship by a small group of progressive educationists and liberal thinkers, including Beatrice Ensor, who were heavily involved with the British Theosophical Society and the Theosophical Educational Trust.
The organization grew into a national and then international organization, with an international head-quarters in London and local sections in many countries worldwide. It was re-named the World Education Fellowship in 1966.
Although the Fellowship has embraced a wide range of individual philosophies and faiths, the central focus has been on interfaith child-centered education, social reform through education, democracy, world citizenship, international understanding and the promulgation of world peace.
Many famous thinkers and educationists have been involved with the Fellowship and it has forged close links with academic institutions, including the Institute of Education, University of London, and with international organisations, especially UNESCO.
An English Section of the Fellowship was founded in 1927 and has included amongst its prominent members, Sir Michael Sadler, Sir Percy Nunn, Sir Fred Clarke, R.H. Tawney and J.A. Lauwerys. The English Section was also instrumental in the establishment of the Home and School Council and the English Association of New Schools.

Sparkle Child & Youth Development is a Non Governmental Organization (NGO/NPO) committing itself to quality interfaith, multi-cultural, education, training and community development for change and empowerment. SPARKLE allows children to have a place for after school care and education support services to be free to do their school educational studies, with the help of caregivers, community volunteers and school teachers. We also provide our youth (School drop-outs and school leavers) a good education by allowing them to complete their schooling studies.
To assist our youth with governmental education and training courses, this can be available to them and empower them socially. We also create job opportunities through job creation initiative programmes.
The primary purpose of education today is to help all of us to grow as self-respecting, sensitive, confident well-informed, competent and responsible individuals in society and in the world community.
People develop these qualities when they live in mutually supportive environments where sharing purposes and problems generate friendliness, commitment and cooperation.
Schools should aim to be interfaith multicultural communities of this kind. Learners should, as early as possible in association with, and support from others to take responsibility for the management of their own education in association with and support from others. They should be helped to achieve both local involvement and a global perspective.
High achievement is best obtained by mobilizing personal motivation and creativity within a context of open access to a variety of learning opportunities. One should aim to describe personal achievement and promote self-esteem. https://sparklecyd.co.za/
