Saturday Classes
Saturday Classes
The Mamelodi Initiative’s Saturday classes serve as a pivotal nexus, strategically positioned to ameliorate the scholastic disparities inherent in the conventional classroom setting and the distinct exigencies of the student body. In Mamelodi, educational institutions grapple with issues of overpopulation, exacerbating the challenge of a disproportionately high student-to-teacher ratio, thereby hindering the effective fulfillment of students’ educational requisites. The Saturday classes, meticulously designed and implemented, address this pedagogical lacuna with precision, catering precisely to the scholastic exigencies of the learners. The curriculum is thoughtfully curated, with a pronounced emphasis on core subjects, notably mathematics and English. These supplementary classes unfold every Saturday within the confines of our esteemed partner schools, encapsulating a judicious fusion of academic rigor and community engagement.
