Numeric partners with 36 primary schools across three provinces in South Africa, where learners apply to be part of our program.
The after-school maths program has classes that run for 1.5 - 2 hours twice each week, totaling 3-4 hours a week, to reach our target of 100 hours of extra maths instruction throughout the year.
To staff our after-school maths classes, we recruit pre-service teachers (Coaches) from teacher training institutions in the areas where we operate. We specifically recruit Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) students as they have a vested interest in gaining classroom exposure. Our year-long teaching internships develop the next generation of teachers through maths content and pedagogy training, individualised mentorship, ongoing personal and professional development, and practical teaching experience.
