Description
The need for physical sciences and mathematics learners to take up enrolment in tertiary institutions across the country to meet national expectations has been a challenge. Research in the Western Cape province shows that the number of High schools offering physical sciences and mathematics are on the decrease across public schools. This has led the Metro Education Districts to design interventions that would sustain learners at various grades to pursue STEM career options. The Metro South Education District and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of the Western Cape piloted a tutoring and mentorship programme targeting grade 12 learners with a team graduate tutors. This paper will present graduate tutors' perceptions and learners' experiences of the programme along the direction of the programme objectives.
