Maths Our World is a semi-autonomous, non-profit organisation established in September, 2013, by Tom Shupikai.<\/p>\n

The organisation is going to serve as a training “arm”, to assist public school pupils, in order to improve the number and quality of mathematics passes and to close cumulative gaps in learning.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Saturday classes will commence on March 8, and will focus only on Grade Four and Eight mathematics, because Grade Four is a transition grade from the foundation phase, and Grade Eight is a transition grade from primary to high school.<\/p>\n

Parents will have to pay a fee to help with the rental of the premises, as well as printing of booklets for the pupils, but the organisation has put a system in place to secure funding so that disadvantaged pupils will eventually have access to free education.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

For registration and more information parents can call 011 057-2341 or 061 358 5410.<\/p>\n

The classes will be held at the Institute Status Acres Secondary School College, situated at the corner of Oosthuizen and Railway streets in the Germiston CBD.<\/p>\n

Pupil registration will take place the college on March 8 from 8am to 10.30am and lessons will start at 11am.<\/p>\n
