Sharp Minds! Learners achieved a 92% pass rate! PDF Print E-mail

In a time where grade 12 results are rather grim, the performance of the Transnet Sharp Minds! Learners are a bright beacon.

During 2007 Transnet Foundation selected four hundred learners to attend remedial lessons in Maths, Science and English in the following Provinces:

  • North West - Moretele
  • Limpopo - Sekhukhune
  • KZN - Mtubatuba
  • Free State - Maluti A Phofung

Intensive training started in 2008 and ran over a 2 year cycle. Maths Centre trainers worked intensively with the learners during Saturday schools and afternoon clinics as well as content workshops for the teachers.

The first group of Sharp Minds! Learners completed Grade 12 end of 2009. On 19 January 2010 Transnet Foundation held a splendid prize-giving event to celebrate their achievements.

  • An overall pass rate of 92%.
  • Out of 367 learners, 103 achieved distinctions in Maths, Science and English and 83 distinctions in other learning areas.
  • 13 learners from Maluti A Phofung ranked among the top 100 learners in the Free State.

Nondumiso Ndlovu (left) and Morake Morake (right) spoke at the function on behalf of the learners to thank Transnet Foundation and all the tutors involved in the programme  including the Maths Centre for the opportunity to create a better future for themselves.

The top 10 Sharp Minds! Learners show their certificates after the prize giving function.

A group of elated Sharp Mind! Learners congratulate each other after the prize giving function.
