For the first time in history papers will have to be rewritten in order to protect the credibility of the exams. Although it is stressful to rewrite exams, it is also a definite benefit if approached with a positive mindset. Read the message.

Special Annual Theme Award: The NSTF’s theme for 2021 is Creative Economy for Sustainable Development, aligned with the United Nations’ International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development. The Special Annual Theme Award for 2020/2021 will be made for an outstanding contribution to science, engineering, technology (SET) and innovation towards the creative economy for sustainable development in South Africa (SA) . The concept of creative economy is the income-earning potential of creative activities and ideas. It encompasses photography, graphic design, fashion design, filmmaking, architecture, publishing, video games and more. The concept of sustainable development is embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. As NSTF, we are looking at where these concepts intercept with science and technology. Read more about this Award.
