ITEC is a non-profit organization that works in education and development in the Eastern Cape. 

ITEC was founded in 1987 in response to the hardening attitudes of the Apartheid government and the crisis in public schooling.  Our purpose at that time was to support the continued provide a non-racial support and resource service to school principals and teachers. 

ITEC has come a long way since the difficult days of Apartheid.  We still work in education, but we’ve developed a more holistic vision of human development in our province in response to people’s changing needs.  

The scope of our work has broadened and deepened in the past 22 years. For example, we work to improve the lives of young children through early childhood development.  We support the academic development of older learners through enhancing their mathematics and science skills, and we promote arts and culture through music.  

We support the sustainability of non-profit and community based organizations, and we offer an understanding of HIV and AIDS.   We train people in computer skills, and we offer a wonderful library service to the community.

We also provide management services, and research services for government departments.

Our Board of Management:  Jonathan Godden (Chair), Gavin Stewart, Mandisa Mashiya, John Smith.  Patron:  Geraldine Nicol.

ITEC is accredited with the ETDP SETA.
