| COMPANY
PROFILE |
|
 |
| Missing Link Education is a leading
Educational bookseller. We aim to assist the growth of the Education
Industry in South Africa by supplying quality imported Educational
Material to schools, teachers, libraries and the home. |
| |
| HISTORY |
| Missing Link Education
was formed in 1997 with the intention of assisting the Education
industry to meet the demands of the new democratic South Africa
and the impact on Education in South Africa. The first task
of the democratically elected government was to provide quality
educational material to learners who had long been deprived
of the right to equal education. The directors of the company
have 27 years of valuable experience in the education sector,
having made the transition from being employed by a multinational
company to forming their own Black Economic Empowerment educational
company. They formed the company based on their desire to see
the best material available in the marketplace reaching the
poorer sectors of the South African community and thereby making
a marked impact on the industry. |
