Books and calculators bring hope to Kagiso matrics
A timely intervention gives Kagiso learners more than study materials; it gives them renewed confidence ahead of their final exams.
A donation of mathematics textbooks and calculators to Grade 12 learners at Mandisa Shiceka School of Specialisation on September 30 highlights how targeted support helps address everyday barriers to educational success.
Preparing for final school examinations is made easier with access to the right educational resources. For Grade 12 learners at Mandisa Shiceka School of Specialisation in Kagiso, a recent Mobil Give a Drop initiative by African Group Lubricants has provided practical support in the form of mathematics textbooks and calculators.
The initiative focuses on responding to needs identified within communities by providing practical support where it can make a meaningful difference.
No-fee school context
According to the school’s mathematics specialist, Phoenix Cassidy Moteke, the intervention addresses a very real challenge.
“Calculators have been an issue, especially since we are a no-fee school,” says Moteke. “Most of the parents in this community are not working, so I think that was one of the biggest challenges.”
