Mindset News First Edition - 2007
Barloworld funds Grade 12 Science
Mindset has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with Barloworld. To this end they have previously funded Grade 11-12 English and this content is now available on all the Mindset platforms.
In this vein of ongoing support we are pleased to advise that in 2007 Barloworld are now funding Grade 12 Science video content. This will enable Mindset to produce 14 lessons, 2 teacher guides as well as the development of the associated print notes.
The Head of CSI, Barloworld, Jennifer Smith, has the following to say about their commitment to Mindset,
“Higher grade pass rates in Maths and Science are the gateway to so many critical needed professional qualifications in South Africa.Dramatically improving our Maths and Science education must be a top educational priority if we are to achieve national development objectives such as community upliftment, economic growth and broadening the ownership base of the economy. Mindset Learn interventions are able to add value within the existing education system and Barloworld is proud to support them."
