Masiloane believes the classes afford learners a better chance of achieving great results.
“On average, our Grade 12 learners have improved from level 3 to level 6.
“The Grade 11 learners have improved from levels 3 and 4 to level 7.
“Grade 10 learners have improved to level 5,” says Masiloane.
Level 7, the highest level a learner can achieve, is a mark between 80 and 100 per cent.
Noluthando Mabena was the top learner, with 92 per cent in mathematics.
“I’m grateful that I attend this programme and I am now confident in maths,” says Mabena.
“We work with learners, Monday to Saturday, because we strongly believe that whatever you do every day produces notable results,” explains Masiloane.
