About David
David Maynier is the Western Cape Minister of Education, having been appointed to the post in 2022. He previously served as the Minister of Finance and Economic Opportunities (from 2019 to 2022).
He has immense respect for the principals, teachers, practitioners, and officials that make up the education sector. He wants to make sure that we improve on the strong foundation that they’ve built and take it forward so that we can deliver on our vision of a quality education for every learner, in every classroom, in every school in the province.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree from the University of Cape Town and a master's degree in public administration and management from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
When not serving, he loves to spend time with his family. Their motto is “Never quit!” - one that he applies equally in his role as Western Cape Minister of Education.
