Gauteng Education Development Trust (GEDT)

JET Eudcation Services provides fund-holding and financial management services to the Trust, as well as assisting with preparing and issuing requests for proposals, assessing submissions and calling for and evaluating tenders. Since 2009 JEt's role has included strategic management support.

The Gauteng Joint School Building Trust (GJSBT) was established in 1996 as a partnership between the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) and private sector organisations. The objective was to assist the GDE in providing school infrastructure. In 1997, the Gauteng Education Development Trust (GEDT) was established to include other aspects of education development.

The GEDT caters for general donations to education, as well as specific donations which qualify in terms of Section 18A of the South African Income Tax Act.

The Trustees invite all companies and organisations that would like to make a contribution to improving education in the province to join the Trust, either to participate in an existing project or to initiate their own.

Kindly contact JET Education Services (GEDT Administrator) on (+27) 011 403-6401 should you require additional information regarding the GEDT and its projects.
