'n Groot gedeelte van die gebied is nog onontwikkeld en veral Boesmans word nog in hulle natuurlike kleredrag en huisvesting aangetref.

Die groepleier is Joannie de Beer en die groep word ook vergesel deur Kosie Slabber (toerleier) en sy vrou, Mareza (kosma), asook Johan Lemmer (van die sendingorganisasie) en Katrien de Beer (voornemende sendeling).

Maths, science to be promoted in schools

[ Top ]


THE School Governing Body Association of Paarl/Wellington recently launched an exciting new Science and Maths project.

The objectives are to raise the standard of science and maths teaching in schools, to help learners develop a deeper understanding and love for mathematic and scientific phenomena, to stimulate potential and identify talents with regards to science and maths.

The project has been made possible through generous funding from the Shuttleworth Foundation.

Science Clubs that are to be established at five schools: Desmond Tutu Secondary, Mew Orleans Secondary, Nederburg Primary, Amstelhof Primary and Simondium Primary. All pupils from Grades 7 to 9 can become members of the clubs.

"Four years ago there were only 20 African students in the Western Cape taking Maths on a higher grade," said Cameron Dugmore, Western Cape Minister of Education, emphasising the importance of the new project.

"Various studies have shown that learner performance in mathematics and science in South Africa falls well short of what we need to ensure sustainable development in this country.

"The results of a recent study to develop literacy and numeracy skills in the province showed that most Grade 6 learners in the Western Cape could not perform at a Grade 6 level in literacy and numeracy last year."

The Minister said they have already introduced a variety of programmes to address this isse.

"It illustrates the tremendous task we have ahead of us to provide access to quality, basic education for all - especially in the poor areas.

"Everyone, in every school, every home and every community, has a role to play in bringing our learners up to speed. This is not an impossible task, but we have to work together to ensure success."

Denise Ontong is the project manager and she can be contacted at 862-4366 or 072-222-3686.

"That's why I am delighted that the Shuttleworth Foundation is investing in our children in a big way. This illustrates what we can achieve if we work together in partnerships."
