South Africa’s National Development Plan states, “We seek a country wherein all citizens have the capabilities to grasp the ever-broadening opportunities available. Our plan is to change the life chances of millions of our people, especially the youth; life chances that remain stunted by our apartheid history”. If, as a country, we are to fulfill these aspirations, anyone and everyone who cares about understanding, creating and maintaining a decent quality of life should care about Maths, Science and Technology teaching and learning. These are gateway subjects that are fundamental to ensuring the youth of South Africa have access to further education and employment.
