“We assist the learners on weekdays for 45 minutes after school and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays,” says Masiloane.
The programme was started after Maths 22 conducted research that found that only a fraction of high school learners is matriculating with maths, limiting their study options at university.
“The point of the programme is to stimulate a love for maths early into high school so we can change their attitude towards maths, opening them up to a world of possibilities after high school.
“It will also encourage them to develop discipline and good time management as those are key to pass maths” he continues.
The programme currently assists only Grade Nine learners but aims to branch out to other grades soon.
“We would like parents to take leadership in their homes and encourage their children to join extra lessons, even if it’s not ours as without any extra help in maths the chances of failure are higher,” he says.
“We would also like to extend our gratitude to Musa Zwane, the owner of The Venue in KwaThema and Robert Zwane (CA) from South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica) for their support,” he concludes.
