AXIUM
“Axium Education grows talent and opportunity in
rural communities by working with students and
educators to raise student achievement.”
Axium Education aims to see dramatic
improvements in the quality of rural schooling
through its partnerships with teachers, principals
and school communities. Based in the rural village
of Zithulele in the Eastern Cape province of South
Africa, the organization uses science, mathematics
and language teaching as key levers for success. Its
objectives are two-fold:
1) to grow passionate, knowledgeable rural educators
in the critical areas of language, maths and
science; and,
2) to grow a new generation of quality rural
professionals by providing opportunities for
talented rural students to succeed.
In 2014 the Claude Leon Foundation will support the
growth of the Ekukhuleni Centre, where 90
high-potential students from six senior secondary
schools receive additional tuition in maths,
science, leadership and English on Saturdays and
during school holidays. |
