Free mathematics lessons for high school learners
“Mathematics was one of my favourite subjects in school because the teachers made an effort.”
Langaville – Grade Eight to 12 learners struggling with mathematics and physical science are invited to enrol for extra lessons at the Mathematics Excellency Academy, for 2019.
The extra lessons are offered at Langaville Secondary School every Saturday.
Founder of the academy, Collen Msibi says he founded the school six years ago after realising the need for learners to take maths as a subject in school.

“Mathematics and physical science are some of the subjects which are lacking behind in the country because many people don’t want to take them in school.
“Since we started offering the lessons and working with the teachers in the area, we have identified an improving pattern,” he says.
Collen says he could not understand some of the reasons so he decided to be the change he wants to see in his community.
