50 % in both maths and science. At the top end of the scale 509 girls have achieved more than 80 % for maths and 544 for physical science.
Another way Liberty is working to make a difference is through its partnership with Primestars’ national programme eduCate which delivers maths and science tutorials to matriculants via Ster-Kinekor cinemas across the country. The revision sessions are presented in an educational yet entertaining manner, allowing learners to interact with teachers who are available at each cinema should there be a need for clarity on complex equations by the learners.
Employee volunteerism through the Read-Aloud Campaign
Liberty’ s Read-Aloud campaign promotes early literacy by encouraging employees to read to learners at adopted schools. Since 2001, over 5 000 learners in Gauteng have benefited from more than 900 sessions.
The programme complements Liberty’ s broader focus on Maths, Science, and English, while contributing to the national agenda and creating a confident, capable pipeline of future learners prepared for the demands of a modern economy.
Using theatre to further advance financial literacy
In March Liberty celebrated its commitment to financial literacy when it partnered with the Ipelegeng Skills Centre in White City, Soweto to host a play on the importance of financial inclusion and economic empowerment.
It addressed key themes such as poverty alleviation through financial education, responsible saving and spending, and entrepreneurial skill-building. The event encouraged attendees to think critically about their financial choices, with discussions on responsible lending and debt management offering guidance on avoiding common financial pitfalls.
A year-round, long-term investment in youth
Liberty’ s approach to education is about supporting the whole learner. Its partnerships ensure its initiatives are sustainable and measurable. From early literacy to exam success, it is committed to empowering South Africa’ s youth with the skills they need to build a brighter future.
