How Mindspark Makes a Difference
South Africa faces the challenge of an unequal educational system. Many students, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas, struggle with foundational subjects like mathematics, often leading to higher dropout rates and limited future opportunities.
In 2021, Edutech Institute, in collaboration with Jet Education Services and funding partners such as PLT Health and Halls, introduced Mindspark to public schools in Mitchells Plain, Western Cape. This initiative has brought hope and measurable improvements to many students in these communities.
Real Impact, Real Stories
Harmony Primary School:
Situated in the sub-economic area of Steenberg, this school faced significant challenges with students struggling in basic maths operations. The introduction of Mindspark has been a game-changer, providing personalised learning that adapts to each student’s needs. As the principal notes, “From the get-go, the learners were excited. The program is very innovative, and learners are motivated by the sparkies they earn.”
Student Testimonials:
Students are not only improving their grades but also developing a love for learning. A student shared their opinion: “I find Mindspark interesting and fun”. The system is better than writing in a book. I have 1,375 sparkies and I want to be an accountant, so I think Mindspark will help me with math, numbers, and money.”
Teacher Insights:
Teachers appreciate how Mindspark incorporates visual aids and encourages students to practise at home, fostering a love for maths and driving significant improvements in performance. “Learners who used to score below 40 are now achieving 50s and 60s,” shares a teacher from the program.
