Alex schoolchildren have been invited to participate in the OMO Ready for Life Maths Challenge which offers a bursary of R10 000 to the winners.
OMO marketing manager, Henry Muchauraya, described the latest challenge as one of the potent weapons in the ongoing national campaign to alleviate the country’s education crisis and boost the maths marks of South African children.
The online competition, which started running on 13 February and is set to end on 10 April, is open for children aged six to 13.

Participants have to complete 10 questions on the Fast Kids Maths mobi-site within 15 minutes, giving them the chance to win one of 20 bursaries valued at R10 000 each.
The children also stand a chance to receive instant rewards which include food vouchers, movie tickets and digital rewards such as career badges, trophies and also double their in-game coins to use within the digital shop.
In addition, the top 20 children on the leader board and their moms will win a weekend away at the Ready for Life Academy, which will provide the children with a chance to experience action-packed maths-focused games and activities, meet exciting guest speakers and learn more about careers in maths.
“We are excited about the Ready for Life Maths Challenge which allows children to engage and be rewarded while improving and testing their maths skills,” said Muchauraya.
