SADC SECONDARY SCHOOLS ESSAY COMPETITION 2021

TOPIC How has SADC contributed to peace and security of the region in the last 40 years
and how can SADC consolidate peace going forward?
The SADC Secondary Schools Essay Competition is held annually and is open to Secondary School learners from all
the 16 SADC Member States. A topic is provided on which to write an essay of 1,000 to 1,200 words. An adjudication
committee of education experts drawn from three SADC Member States meets to review and select the winning essays.
The topic for the 2021 SADC Secondary Schools Essay Competition -- “How has SADC contributed to peace and
security of the region in the last 40 years and how can SADC consolidate peace going forward?” -- was derived from the
Theme of 40th Ordinary SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government: “SADC: 40 Years Building Peace and Security,
Promoting Development and Resilience in the Face of Global Challenges”. The adjudication process for the 2021 SADC
Secondary Schools Essay Competition was held virtually on 12-16 July 2021, and was done by education experts from
Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Seychelles. The winners were announced as follows:
WINNERS

2nd Prize US$1,000 was awarded to Tholang Thejane from the Kingdom of Lesotho with an average
score of 78.3%

The winners of the 2021 Secondary Schools Essay Competition will be recognised and officially announced through
