The National Youth Development Agency has handed over a mobile science lab to one of the disadvantage schools in Port Elizabeth. The initiative seeks to provide science teachers with better resources and improve matric results.
The project enables learners of underprivileged schools to perform science experiments, which they are currently unable to do due to lack of facilities and do to their harsh economy.
For more than ten years, teachers at Sakhisizwe senior secondary school struggled to explain difficult scientific reactions; theory to learners and it showed in the results the students performed. The school resulted badly in math and science last year.
A total of 30 schools in the Eastern Cape especially in rural areas will also receive these mobile science labs. Government has urged teachers at this school to encourage learners to use the labs.
Steven Ngubeni, National Youth Development Agency CEO says, “The mobile clinic is divided into two parts. We want youth to excel in education; our job is to encourage learners to excel in maths and science. We are going to enroll this project in other provinces. We want these learners to be competitive and we need more scientists in the country.”
Teachers will be given clear guidelines to teach these learners about these mobile science labs.
