Education Department Partnership Announcement

SAPA NW establishes formal partnership with the North West Department of Education for principal development, creating new opportunities for school leadership growth.

The partnership formalises a collaborative relationship between SAPA North West and the provincial Department of Education, focused on aligning professional development opportunities with departmental priorities and supporting principals as they navigate policy changes and administrative responsibilities.

As part of the agreement, SAPA members will gain access to joint training initiatives, and SAPA will have a more direct channel to provide input on policies affecting school leadership in the province. The partnership also includes provisions for the Department to support SAPA-organised workshops and conferences.

This kind of collaboration reflects SAPA's ongoing mission of advocacy and representation, ensuring principals have a seat at the table when decisions are made that affect their schools and their profession.
