Since 2011, Shell South Africa, in partnership with The Maths Centre, has offered a flagship educational initiative focused on improving Mathematics skills at selected schools. The Rally to Numeracy programme is aimed at helping educators to enhance their understanding and teaching of the country’s Maths syllabus, which will, in turn, result in improved numeracy levels in the pupils they teach.

The Leeu-Gamke Primary School is situated in a small town in the Western Cape Province – the only primary school in an area of 4000 people
