Poor maths and science teaching are particular points of concern in a 21st century economy. As a result, a significant portion of South African students leave school without the level of skills needed to get stable employment &#8211; in fact, most schooling available is inadequate and, can leave children trapped in a poverty cycle.<\/p>\n<p>A number of organisations are seeking to overcome this challenge and fill the gap of academic inadequacy. The LEAP network, which has a branch in Langa in Cape Town, is one of the most prominent examples of such endeavours. The independent school, started in 2001, provides students with a high-school education programme specifically aimed at children who live in marginalised communities, focusing not just on math and science skills, but also on emotional intelligence, self-awareness and other life skills. The approach is one that seeks to self-liberate children and lead them on a &#8220;journey of learning through which they discover the capacity to take charge of their own lives&#8221;, as the LEAP website puts it.<\/p>\n<p>According to LEAP, 95% of their students have passed matric (the school-end certificate), and 79% of LEAP students have degrees or diplomas or are continuing with higher education.<\/p>\n<p>As Patricia Mudiayi, principal of LEAP Langa, explains, the Langa branch is seeking to introduce more technology in the classroom, as well as increase the school&#8217;s revenue streams and expand its footprint within the next two to three years. The school is keen to benefit from the input of a Brown IE team to reach these goals.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\" title=\"LogoReciprocity\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity.png\" alt=\"LogoReciprocity\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"65\" width=\"109\" data-link-type=\"url\" title=\"LogoReciprocity\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity.png 109w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity-18x12.png 18w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/emba.brown.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\" title=\"IEBROWN\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IEBROWN.png\" alt=\"IEBROWN\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"244\" width=\"432\" data-link-type=\"url\" title=\"IEBROWN\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IEBROWN.png 432w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IEBROWN-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IEBROWN-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IEBROWN-420x237.png 420w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IEBROWN-315x178.png 315w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome Your Clients Useful Resources LEAP While it is absorbed in a struggle to overcome the legacy of decades of race-based discrimination and structural inequality, South Africa&#8217;s schooling system is failing young people.
