 Maths Centre has secured funding from the Citigroup Foundation to further enhance the Anglo American project for Maths and Science. Maths Centre has secured the services of Edukite Learning Services, an Information and Communication Technology company, who developed multi-media based educational software to help learners better understand critical concepts within Mathematics and Science. The focus of the ICT intervention is Grades 11 and 12 learners. The sponsorship covers provision of ICT software resources, digital tablets and projectors to be used for training teachers.
The Launch for the project was held at Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer on the 5th of October 2010.
Principals and educators received training on how to use the hardware and software.

This project will see 14 teachers and a minimum of 330 learners from 5 schools trained on the ICT programme. Each school will receive random class visits, afternoon clinics and Saturday classes to ensure quality training and evaluate learner performance.
"The software enhances curriculum delivery by teachers and creates a learning environment that is more engaging and collaborative." says Aravind V., Director of Edukite Learning Services. "This project will add further impetus to our ongoing efforts towards improving learner performance at schools in Limpopo." adds, Mmabatho Moloedi, the Project Coordinator at Maths Centre.
