Awqaf SA has launched its 11th annual Maths Workshop series, targeting Grade 10 to 12 learners across South Africa, particularly in areas such as Soweto, Ladysmith, Mitchells Plain, and Khayelitsha. This initiative, in collaboration with the Western Cape Education Department, aims to enhance maths skills, which are crucial for future careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Awqaf SA's chief executive, Mickaeel Collier, noted that the workshops have consistently attracted strong attendance, with about 85,000 learners participating last year. He emphasized that improving maths performance is vital for reducing youth unemployment and closing the skills gap. The workshops, led by facilitator Mohammad Khota, focus on exam preparation and instilling a positive mindset in learners. Khota's engaging teaching style has transformed how many students perceive maths. Participants from previous years, like Armani Rahman and Jayda Lee Pillay, have reported significant improvements in their results, with Rahman achieving 97% and now pursuing medicine, while Pillay scored 87% and plans to study actuarial science at the University of Cape Town. The growing demand for the program reflects its positive impact on students' academic journeys.
