The Higher Education Transformation Network has raised its concerns regarding the alleged neglect of black learners from underprivileged communities by the South African Mathematics Foundation.

The HETN claims that the foundation only prioritizes white learners who come from affluent schools in suburbs and in the process neglect black learners from townships and rural schools.

HETN Director Henderick Makaneta said the South African Mathematics Foundation must take our call very serious, we want them to start ensuring that black learners are also taken serious.

Makaneta addd that they must go to townships schools because we have noticed that they are pre occupied with only those schools especially former models C schools, which are found in the suburbs.


“We are therefore saying that enough is enough now is the time to not tolerate the acts of racism in this country.” Makaneta said.
