Empowering Learners Through Free Maths Revision Workshops in Cape Town
Education remains one of the most powerful tools for transforming communities, and initiatives that support learners especially in critical subjects like Mathematics are essential. Recently on Backchite on Bush Radio 89.5 FM, we spoke to Hasania Abaduri about an impactful programme offering free mathematics revision workshops for Grade 10 and 11 learners in Cape Town.

These workshops are a joint initiative between the National OCA Foundation and the Department of Basic Education, alongside a network of local schools. For the past few years, the programme has supported learners preparing for examinations by providing structured, high-quality revision sessions.
Participating schools include:
Spine Road High School (Mitchells Plain)
Portland High School (Mitchells Plain)
Luhlaza High School (Khayelitsha)
The National OCA Foundation’s broader mission is to empower communities through education, health programmes, and community upliftment initiatives making these maths workshops just one part of a holistic approach to development.
The workshops are designed to help learners prepare effectively for upcoming exams, particularly the June assessments. Sessions are intensive and exam-focused, drawing on years of experience to highlight commonly tested problem types.
Grade 11 Workshop Details:
Dates: Saturday and Sunday sessions
Time: 08:30 – 16:30
Topics Covered:
Algebra and Functions
Geometry and Trigonometry
Facilitators guide learners through likely exam questions, problem-solving techniques, and key concepts helping to build confidence and improve performance.
Accessibility is a key feature of the programme:
Learners can attend in person at Spine Road High School
Alternatively, sessions are streamed via YouTube, allowing learners from across Cape Town to participate
All sessions are recorded and made available online, giving learners the opportunity to revisit lessons at their own pace.
To attend whether in person or online learners must register in advance. Registration ensures:
A reserved seat for in-person attendance
Access to online streaming links
Learners are encouraged to sign up early due to high demand, with attendance often reaching hundreds per session.
Learners attending in person should come prepared with:
A calculator
Notebooks and stationery
Water and snacks
Lunch and refreshments are provided, ensuring learners stay energised throughout the day.
Parents and educators are encouraged to support learners by spreading the word about these workshops. Educators, in particular, may also benefit from attending, as sessions can offer fresh teaching strategies and insights.
Beyond exam preparation, these workshops aim to unlock the full potential of learners. Many participants discover new confidence in their abilities and achieve improved results.
As Hasania Abaduri highlighted, this initiative is not just about passing exams it’s about empowering young people with the skills and knowledge they need for future success.
Learners and parents can stay updated by following the National OCA Foundation on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, or by accessing their YouTube channel for past and upcoming workshop content.
