About the Promaths programme

Launched in 2005 in Dobsonville, Soweto, through a partnership between Investec and the Kutlwanong Maths, Science and Technology Centre, Promaths has grown into an award-winning national initiative. The programme was designed as a sustainable and scalable model to improve maths and science performance, and today it continues to equip South Africa’s young people with the critical skills needed to thrive in the economy and contribute to the country’s growth.

Investec funds 10 centres, while the remaining nine are supported by Entrepreneurship Development Trust, Free State Department of Education, Liberty, Asore Mining, Telkom Foundation, Harmony, Auditor General SA and VW Group Foundation. We are grateful to the organisations that have already partnered with us, but we cannot do this alone.

Education is not charity; it’s an investment in the future workforce, in economic growth, and in a globally competitive South Africa.
