President Ramaphosa launches virtual book club - Because in South Africa, a mere 5000 book sales count as a best seller
Bookworms can now sign up and join the President’s Reading Circle – a virtual book club – to enjoy recommended page turners. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reading circle, an offshoot of the National Reading Coalition (NRC), offers book lovers a chance to get lost in the world of books and share their views on the books with the President through the chat service on the site. The NRC was established by the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) and the Department of Basic Education (DBE) as a comprehensive national response to the reading challenges facing South Africa.
In 2016, South Africa was ranked last out of 50 countries in the Progress in International Reading Literacy (PIRLS) study which tested reading comprehension of Grade 4 learners. The study found that 78% of South African pupils at this level could not read for meaning. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10eade80a6894a0299a71f7ac5ac43a415
