PR OF. JONATHAN JANSEN
DISTINGUISHED PR OFESSOR IN EDUC ATION

Few people have had the positive societal impact in recent South African history
as Professor Jonathan David Jansen. He is an internationally renowned education
academic and a leading intellectual expert. He has a solid academic grounding, is a
captivating speaker, a best-selling author and a master storyteller. His insightful and
forthright comments on education and societal issues as a speaker and columnist are
the stuff of legends. Jansen, in short, calls it as he sees it – and he sees through the
eyes of a free thinker. He is, indeed, a most worthy Chivas Humanitarian Award winner.
In his more recent leadership roles at Universities, his true wisdom and leadership
colours have shone through “with compassion, humility and deep understanding,” as
one pundit put it.
