Established in October 2005, the Thandulwazi Trust Maths and Science Academy is a home-grown nation-building programme which supports the South African Government's National Development Plan Goals for the education sector. Thandulwazi (isiZulu for "love of learning") is well-placed to offer a educational intervention programme to improve the learning and teaching of core subjects (Mathematics, the Sciences, Accounting and English) for Grade 9 to 12 Gauteng Province Learners; to provide upskilling workshops and a professional development programme for teachers in the Gauteng and Limpopo Provinces; to provide in-service formal training for Intern-Teachers; and to support academic scholarship learners in successfully completing their school careers in a high performing high school. Our overall vision is a South Africa where every child has access to quality basic education; and attends a well-resourced school where effective learning and teaching is taking place across all educational phases and particularly in gateway subjects (Mathematics, the Sciences, Accounting and Languages).
