Some thoughts from the executive director's desk
It is with great sadness that I review the results each year. Mathematics and Science teaching and learning is not moving towards success for our learners. Maths Centre strategy is focused around developing and supporting learners and teachers from Grade R to Grade 12.
Materials, Training courses, learning support, classroom visits and workshops are all geared to introduce and sustain the love of Mathematics, Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship education as well as LEARNING per se.
It seems that our learners in South Africa are not at all sure what it means to be a learner? What is the role and responsibility for participating in one’s own life for without that, learners are always living without a clear goal and ambition?
The new curriculum is very exciting, brilliant in its design and purpose, meets the international standards for Teaching Mathematics, Science and Technology and yet so many of our teachers and learners are not at all familiar with even the basics of the curriculum. Maths Centre support will take you into the depth of all the dimensions of the curriculum so that you begin to move towards unparalleled competence and confidence.
Our text books, resource kits, ICT support, charts, posters, and pocket books are all designed to assist and support your teaching and learning. Our staff in all the provinces is there to assist you, an e-mail and a phone call away. Research reports from all over the world have been studied to choose some of the very best to start you thinking. These are listed on the website. Contact us. We all need to engage in an intense critical debate to get our learners learning and teachers teaching.
