With only 50 days left to the matric exams, the focus will be on helping learners meet their study needs at home and at school.
Last year, to mark its 21st anniversary, the Old Mutual Foundation supported the Matric Class of 2020.
Even without the constraints of the pandemic and the recent social unrest, the matric year is always a challenging one, filled with pressure, late night cramming and uncertainty about the future. Despite the best efforts of teachers and learners to maintain online teaching and learning, the pandemic has caused immense disruption, anxiety and loss. Added to that are the further challenges of vandalised schools during the social unrest.
“Empowering our most vulnerable communities is part of our purpose and Old Mutual cares deeply about the youth of South Africa. Education is therefore one of the Foundation’s key focus areas. We are committed to focusing our efforts and resources on achieving inclusive prosperity through education and skills development.”
