The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) yesterday launched the Read to Lead Campaign to promote the culture of reading in learners. Schools across the province were invited to showcase their talents which promoted and highlighted their love for reading. Poetry battles, reading in different languages, story dramatisation were some of the acts on display.

“A reading nation is a leading nation”, these were the words on the GDE banners, echoing that a leader is a reader. Macmillan Education was very excited to showcase the beautiful selection of readers for learners in all grades at the pop-up display area. Macmillan also donated two stand-alone Reading Trolleys to schools chosen by the GDE.
