EASTCAPE MIDLAND COLLEGE
Education in Uitenhage

Eastcape Midlands TVET College (EMC) in South Africa’s Nelson Mandela Bay is continuing to play a critical and meaningful role in skills development and the lives of its students in the Eastern Cape province. EMC serves a highly industrialised urban area, part of the Nelson Mandela Metropole, as well as the rural western part of the province. This means that the college faces unique challenges in being a provider for the needs of a developed and advanced industrial economy on the one hand and, a widespread rural area with high rates of unemployment and poverty, which is further compounded by challenges of the Eastern Cape’s primary and secondary education systems in rural and less fortunate communities. Yet, amid the challenges, EMC has not only increased its number of students who pass their exams, yearly, but has produced the top 10 students in the country over the past couple of years. Management and leadership has also placed EMC on a growth trajectory and certified student numbers have grown with 35 % over a three year period. The flow with the opening at the base symbolises the acceptance towards the community. The bold lettering forms a natural base for the rest of the logo to rest on. The symbolic application that unites the college is in the form of flames that reach into the sky. The college serves a highly industrialized urban area, part of the Nelson Mandela Metropole, as well as the rural western part of the province. As such, it faces enormous challenges in being a provider for the needs of a highly advanced industrial component on the one hand and, a widespread rural area with high unemployment and poverty rate at the other.
