Good stuff :)

Unfortunately, waiting until the last possible minute to teach kids isn't very logical. If you didn't get the grade 4 stuff then there is no foundation to build the grade 12 stuff on.

At 30% for a 'pass', it shouldn't be too hard to get a few through - despite Angie's bumbing

Good initiative from NedBank. At least someone REALLY cares about our kids.

I still maintain we need a new govt to fix what the ANC govt managed stuff up in the last 18 years.

When you see a country lowering education standards to the extent that a 30% is considered a pass just so the ministers can pat themselves on the back then you know our childrens future is doomed.

What is the catch? These days you gotta ask yourself this question if people fake some sympathy....R4.5 metre is a lot of money. Could be a publicity stunt or advertising, we don't know.

But all this programme must involve rural areas because this people will tell you about Limpopo area as if the whole Limpopo is a rural area. They should go to invest in the villages where school does not have enough classrooms and Libary not school like Mbilwi which get 100% pass rate every year because they have all necessary equipment that leaners needs. Some school get 20% or less pass rate because they do no have material.

agree with candilious
if the stupid govt was doing its job that we pay it billions in tax money for . then companies like Ned Bank would not have to donate money for this cause would they?

That money would have gone to another cause like feeding orphaned kids or a charity organisation.

But because we have useless fools like Angie and Zuma we have to do what we can to reduce the crisis.

why don't you be greatful someone is doing something at least instead of b1tching!

In case you didn't know, those two subjects are the ones which have the lowest pass rate. Now why would they throw money at something like that silly Life Skills nonsense when an altzheimic gnat could pass it with ease?

You can just say government. The other mistake you are making here is that you are generalising. We agree that some government officials are corrupt, but not everybody. Some are good people....

Aah: funny face is at it again I wonder why you were discharged from hospital as those docters were suppossed to also examine your mind as I believe that you are suppossed to be reffered to a mental institution. You are so crazy Nzimande as you not only want to destabilize our varsities, you also seek to politisize our academic institutions, you want to follow on your counterpart footsteps aka Angie funny frog who messed up with basic education in Limpopo and E.C provinces. MGODOYI, i wonder which drug are you smoking but I guess Zuma is sharing with you the NYAOPA that he is smoking.

@Kata -Stop with that way of thinking man. one of the banks in the country has offered the pupils a helping hand in preparation for their mathematics and physical science exams.


Thats a helping hand in these two subjects. Maybe the Gvmt whom is suppose to have had these facilities on hand could assist with x4 subjects at the most do you understand now.



And just Maybe by Nedbanks initiative another Company could follow suit. Stop covering for the GVMT. man all their do is loot the money where as there are purpose for all the Billions lost already
