Numeric partnera with 41 primary schools across three provinces in South Africa, where learners apply to be part of our program. We select 50 learners whom we divide into two classes of 25 learners each.
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.
