Maths Centre runs the full range of nine programmes in the Free State. For the past 6 years many more schools, primary and high, have joined the Maths Centre projects. Maths Centre enjoys very active support from the Department of Education of the Free State. Maths Centre was once invited to run a year-long programme in several rural locations by the department as well as a couple of funders. Three-year projects have begun to improve learner performance in five different farm and rural areas. Long distances to the workshop venue have not deterred teachers from participating in the workshop programmes.

It is often quite difficult to see if development will be sustainable. Given sufficient funding and support mechanisms, policy and management systems can run hand-in-hand in a school. There is a better chance of sustainability if developments are whole school based. The position of the teachers and the field trainers does allow them to build a comprehensive CV, understand the national curriculum roll-out situation and train as leader teachers of tomorrow. In the world of mathematics education, critical mass is gradually being added to.
