This is the second NuMiracle lab in the country following the launch of the first one at The Pavillion Shopping Centre in Durban. Pareto Limited is one of the country’s premier shopping centre investors and a leading retail property role player.
The lab will see promising learners from selected high schools attending daily computer based maths lessons after school at no charge. The initiative will work closely with Master Maths to provide quality math tutoring.
The labs have been designed to nurture a love of maths. From the labs’s spiral design based on the intriguing Fibonacci number to 12 new computers which will accommodate the personal tuition of 36 learners.
Currently students from Princess High School and Kagiso High School has been chosen to partake.
At the unveiling of the lab, DA Councillor Carl Mann praised the initiative saying that although there are many Non Profit Organisations (NPO) that focus on the unskilled people of the country, there are not many who focus on developing the youth. Mann asked that more NPO’s focus on the development of the youth.
Wetgate’s General Manager Nicolette Carelse said “the maths tutor, Sakhile Mkhonza, and I are both looking forward to welcoming the pupils into the lab”.
According to Meshack Phiri of Pareto Limited, “retailers are very concerned about the development of our children and that is why we saw it fitting to choose this initiative as part of our corporate social investment”.
