About Thandulwazi
Thandulwazi (which means “love of learning”) is a national, donor-funded educational upliftment programme founded by St Stithians College. Its purpose is to expand access to high-quality learning in mathematics, science, English and accounting for learners in under-resourced schools across Gauteng and beyond.
Through four main pillars, Thandulwazi works to strengthen both learners and teachers
1
Saturday School Programme
Extra classes on Saturday mornings for Grades 9–12 learners, offering support in core subjects and helping to bridge gaps in their formal schooling.
2
Intern-Teacher Training Programme
Training new teachers, especially in areas of critical shortage, so that teaching capacity in Maths, Science, English and Early Childhood Education can grow in historically underserved communities.
3
Teacher Development Programme
Upskilling current teachers and school leaders in disadvantaged areas to strengthen pedagogical skills, especially in gateway subjects.
4
Academic Scholarship Programme
Offering scholarships to talented learners from underprivileged schools, enabling them to attend St Stithians and fully tap their potential in math and science.
