Bidcorp ORT’S Second Chance makes dreams come true
Bidcorp-ORT South Africa’s Second Chance project is yielding exceptional results. This year-long maths and science programme helps post-matric students achieve improved results for entry into tertiary institutions. Beneficiaries of the programme are hopeful about their future – a far cry from where they were a year ago. Here’s why: the pass rate of the class of 2017 in their maths and physical science rewrite was an incredible 92.5%, with an increase also in the quality of passes. Nine students improved their maths mark by more than 80%, as did 10 science students, with four of them improving their marks in both subjects by 80% and more.
