The youth are the future of the nation and, by channelling a significant proportion of funding towards education-related initiatives, we provide learners with the supplementary tuition that will enable them to obtain the all-important senior certificate. This is achieved through our support of the Association for Educational Transformation (ASSET), a non-profit organisation established in 1982, which enables disadvantaged learners in the Western Cape to attend additional lessons in a range of subjects including life orientation. The learner development programme, known as The Saturday School, operates during school terms and holidays. The aim is to improve the final grade 12 results and enable students to access higher education through bursaries provided by the ASSET Bursary Programme. In previous years the programme catered for around 2 450 students in the Langa, Khayelitsha and Kraaifontein areas. It has since been reconfigured to ensure greater impact, focus and success, and now reaches approximately 1 360 grade 11 and 12 learners who are registered at Masipumelele High School outside Fish Hoek and Bloekombos and Masibambane High Schools in Kraaifontein.
