Episode Synopsis

What can 16th-century Geneva teach 21st-century South Africa about education? As the controversial BELA Bill threatens to erode parental authority and promote secular ideologies, history offers a striking alternative. John Calvin’s Geneva Academy produced world-changing leaders through Christ-centered teaching, moral formation, and academic excellence—accessible to rich and poor alike. Could such a model reshape Africa’s future? And what role should parents and churches play in reclaiming education today? This episode examines Calvin’s principles, their relevance for our time, and why a mass exodus from secular schools may be essential for raising the next generation of godly leaders.
