Lusanda Bill
16 July 2015
Democratic Alliance MP of
Basic Education Annette Lovemore said being denied maths education is a denial
of achieving one’s true potential in life, and severely limits our young people
from seizing opportunities.
This follows after a DA
parliamentary question revealed that one in four South African schools do not
offer Mathematics in grades 10, 11 or 12.
Lovermore said 63% of schools
in the Eastern Cape are offering young people mathematics at school, in the
Western Cape it is 91%. Overall nationally 75%.
“25% of schools are not even
offering mathematics and therefore not offering the opportunity to peruse the
well paid, long term prospect careers that they should be able to get” Lovemore
added.
