Global Youth Education and Success (GYES) Inc.

Description

The main project of Global Youth Education and Success (GYES) is the the Math Institute South Africa (MISA). The project was started in 2012 as a result of the expressed concerns about the high failure rate of learners in Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 by the Western Cape Education Department, Cape Town, South Africa. The problem is that the high failure rate and the lows scores attained by those who passed has resulted in smaller numbers of learners enrolling in mathematics and science classes in the higher grades. The purpose of the MISA is to provide an annual two-week Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program in the Western Cape Province to low performing, and promising high school learners in Grade 9 initially. Grade 10, 11, and 12 learners will be included in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year of the program, respectively.
