OUR HISTORY
History and Impact of JG Zuma High School
Established in 1997, Ekuthuleni Combined School was built by the Inanda Community Development Trust to address the educational needs of the local community. In 2003, the school was separated into two distinct institutions: Ekuthuleni Primary School and JG Zuma High School. Named after the then Deputy President of South Africa, the Honourable Mr. Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, JG Zuma High School officially opened its doors in 2005.
WHO WE SERVICE?
OUR IMPACT
JG Zuma High School serves as a vital educational institution in the KwaBester and INK community, addressing the needs of students from various socio-economic backgrounds. As one of only two secondary schools in the area, it plays a crucial role in providing quality education to learners from four neighboring primary schools: Ekuthuleni, uBuhlebethu, Siphumelele, and Bhekilanga. This influx of students has led to challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, with an average of 60 learners per class, making it difficult to accommodate all those seeking admission.
The school is committed to ensuring that every child has access to education, which is particularly important in an area where many families face economic hardships. Parents from as far as Ntuzuma, Inanda, and Umzinyathi have sought admission for their children at JG Zuma High School, reflecting the school’s reputation for academic excellence and the desire for quality education among local families. The school’s ability to attract students from these areas underscores its significance as an educational hub within the community.
