The South African Extraordinary Schools Coalition (SAESC) is a national community that enables member schools and organizations to share best practices, learn from each other, and advocate for access to good schooling.

The SAESC's fundraising targets a surplus to build financial sustainability and protect against shortfalls through pursuing prospective funders from companies, organizations, and the government. New funding models under consideration include membership fees and charging for participation in activities.

Mile Future Of Executive Development At The Muslim And Arab Worldmilemadinah
This presentation highlights the immense leadership deficit that our region suffers from. It also demonstrates how our educational and training institutions, both at corporate and government levels, fall short in catering for the enormous leadership development requirements in the region. The presentation sheds the light on a new strategic initiative to establish a world-class executive and leadership development institution which aims at bridging this gap. The initiative aims at building local intellectual capital and is based on a sustainable business model that ensures sustainability and provision of high quality, affordable and relevant life-long development opportunities to our future business leaders. The Madinah Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship (MILE) was initiated as one of Savola Group’s CSR programs. MILE is a non-profit organization and will be established at the heart of the Arab and Muslim World at the Madinah Knowledge Economic City. MILE’s first pilot program which attracted more than 150 senior executives from 16 countries has provided a strong evidence of the viability of the proposed model.
Nurturing the talent pool: Challenges and opportunities of bringing on board ...Miles Weaver
Board’s to be effective need the right mix of skills, knowledge, backgrounds and experiences and perspectives to govern well, as well as embodying diversity in its widest sense (The NCVO Good Governance Guide, 2010). This talk discusses the benefits and role of 'Young Trustees' as a untapped source of talent, how we can nurture and support this talent to make a significant contribution to the governance of Scotland's third sector, charities and public bodies. But ... First of all, we need to tackle what we mean by 'young'? It's time to spill the beans ....
Discussion/Workshop:
How to encourage more people to get on board?
To identify ways in which Trusteeship can be encouraged and how we can build relationships and networks to support the development of trustees in Scotland.

2. SAESC Overview
The South African Extraordinary Schools Coalition (SAESC) is a national community of
practice inviting members of schools and organisations and individuals to apply to join it.
Being a part of the SAESC will enable them to share best practice, learn from each other
and create a platform for advocacy around creating access to good schooling for children
from difficult socio-economic contexts. All members of the SAESC are equal in their
participation in meetings and the Coalition is led by a Steering Committee, but is
accountable to the Coalition as a whole.
3. SAESC Analysis
Strengths
A brilliant example of collaboration that
breaks the more common competitive nature
amongst similar organisations.
All members share a common vision to
provide the best quality learning
opportunities for South Africa’s
disadvantaged young people and would like
a stronger partnership with government.
Real trust has been built - this enables
school leaders and teachers to be open and
vulnerable and ask for advice on issues that
they are struggling with as well as share
what is working.
It was initiated and is still run by a Steering
Committee of people actively involved in
teaching it addresses their real needs and in
this way remains relevant.
High achievement schools with solid results
that far exceed national and provincial
performance.
Development Areas
Clear strategic vision and 3-year plan
We need to clearly demonstrate impact
according to key focus areas e.g. advocacy,
leadership, student results, impact on
surrounding schools, systemic change, etc.
A document with collated learnings from the
past two years.
A clearer focus on leadership development,
capacity-building, whole school
improvement and classroom practice.
Clearer identify and branding
communicating achievements and thought-
leadership
Website development (will also reduce
administration and assist with
reporting)
Quarterly newsletter (after every
national meeting)
Thought-leadership editorials
4. SAESC Analysis
Opportunities
The Coalition can become the
representative body of practitioners in the
contract school movement.
The Coalition can become the
representative body of practitioners in the
low-fee school movement.
The Coalition can become the R&D space
and “experts” for classroom practice and
intervention education practices
Threats
The impact of the Coalition is hard to
account for and weakens the funding
proposition.
The diversity of the schools in the Coalition
can be perceived as a weakness if they
don’t hold to a common vision and
achievement level.
As a still-developing organisation there can
be a tendency to focus on SAESC
organisational development, rather than
delivery of core objectives and purpose.
Lack of funding.

Surplus beyond Budget (%) 10% 15% 15%
8. Fundraising Strategy
Fundraising is relationship-building and it takes time to develop trust. We are looking
for multi-year partners who believe in the purpose of the Coalition and can champion
it in their networks.
Companies and organisations that are already funding member Coalition schools
and/or Bridge are therefore ideal prospective funders, but we need to be careful that
we are adding funding and not reducing funding to initiatives currently funded.
People fund people! We need to invite funders to be a part of Coalition meetings to
see the sharing and learning in action.
If a funder had listened to Inanda Seminary’s presentation, how could they not not fund the
Coalition!
We need to present information about the Coalition clearly and concisely so people
can see what they are funding and also present different funding options if needed.
National meetings and core Coalition activities need to be focussed on core purpose
and objectives with minimal time dedicated to organisational development issues…
but still enough time for everyone to know that they have a part to play and
responsibility is shared. This is what funders are investing in.
9. Sustainability
The fundraising targets for the next three years have been set at between 10% and
15% above the current budget so that a surplus can be created – ideally this would
form the beginnings of an endowment fund, but in the short-term will protect against
future fundraising shortfalls.
Increased government support for intervention schooling will increase the number
of service providers and schools that can possibly join the Coalition. An increase in
the number of schools and partners actively involved strengthens the Coalition as it
allows for faster systemic change and also allows for possible new income streams
e.g. membership fees, conferences with education providers paying to have exhibition
stands, etc.
10. Past Financial Supporters
A R2m seed-funding grant from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation was
received in August 2011 – a grant extension was given and approximately R200,000
remains from these funds.
Since inception, the Coalition members have contributed approximately 20% of
funding through covering Coalition expenses and gifts-in-kind.

14. New Funding Models for the SAESC?
Ideas:
Schools could individually fundraise to cover the cost of their participation in SAESC
activities (meetings, peer reviews, presentation preparation time, etc.)
Schools could individually fundraise to cover the cost of the participation in SAESC
activities and a portion (e.g. 20%) could be allocated to SAESC overheads and
running costs.
All members are charged membership fees depending on the benefits offered.
Members are charged a fee for participation in SAESC activities e.g. a per person
cost to cover costs at meetings and all travel and accommodation costs covered by
members, reviewed school pays a fee for school peer reviews (covers cost of Bridge
support, etc.) with other costs covered by reviewers (e.g. travel)
Any other ideas?
