The One Book, One Learner project recently held a workshop and book handover ceremony of My Maths Buddy books to learners of KwaBhekilanga Secondary School to help mathematics educators and learners improve results at the school.
The project is an initiative by the South African Mathematics Foundation, to forward excellence in maths understanding and improved results for teachers and learners in disadvantaged areas in the country.
According to Cameron Wade, the sponsorship coordinator of the project, the five-year-old non-profit organisation works with business communities in different parts of the country to raise funds and buy books to help disadvantaged rural and township schools. He said they host teachers and learners workshops to help improve results at the schools.
“We started the project five years ago to extend a helping hand to mathematics learners in rural and township schools. We host educational workshops with learners and educators to help them improve performance. We partner with local businesses in those areas to help us buy learning material,” Wade said.
Sanele Dhlamini, Grade 9 mathematics learner at KwaBhekilanga Secondary School said he was very grateful to be part of the project which has helped him improve his marks. “I started participating in the project last year and it has been very helpful for me. I managed to get better marks and the maths dictionary we were provided with are the best tools to use.”
