Where Innovation Meets Impact in South African Education
One group. One mission. Many pathways.
About us
We exist to make high-quality education accessible, empowering, and measurable across South Africa.
Through a unified ecosystem of innovative brands, we integrate media, technology, and academic expertise to support teachers and learners - meeting them where they are and helping them reach their full potential.
Shaun Jacobs
Managing Director
“Like many developing systems, ours faces challenges that require fresh solutions and partnerships. At The Ultimate Education Group, we’re building those solutions together.
We’re creating an education ecosystem where every learner can access quality learning and every educator can teach with confidence, supported by technology, training, and real human connection.
True transformation happens when schools, departments, sponsors, and parents align around one table, and when innovation is delivered in classrooms, not just in strategy decks”
Message from the Managing Director:
Partner With Us to Build Scalable, Measurable Education Impact
At The Ultimate Education Group, we believe that meaningful change in education happens through collaboration. We work hand-in-hand with companies, government departments, and philanthropic organisations to design and deliver high-impact education programmes that improve learning outcomes, empower teachers, and expand access to quality education across South Africa.
We don’t sell products, we implement solutions. Our team combines educational expertise, operational capacity, and national reach to deliver projects that are fully aligned with each partner’s social-impact goals.
Our Partnership Model
Whether it’s a corporate CSI initiative, a provincial Department of Education rollout, or a donor-funded programme, every partnership is built on three pillars:
The Ultimate Education Foundation
The Ultimate Education Foundation is an independent NPC (Section 18A) aligned with The Ultimate Education Group’s mission to ensure access to quality learning where commercial delivery is not yet viable. We support schools and communities across South Africa by expanding access to high-quality education, teacher support, and learner opportunities.
Our goal is simple: no learner or educator should be left behind due to circumstance.
Back the programmes that bring quality learning to every classroom
Impact Pillars:
Empowering teachers with tools, training, and support to thrive in the classroom
Expanding access to high-quality learning resources for learners across South Africa
Creating safe and inspiring learning spaces in underserved communities
Ensuring every programme delivers transparent, meaningful, and measurable impact
Every contribution is managed responsibly and directed to programmes that uplift classrooms, strengthen teaching, and unlock learner potential.
