Matric Mathematics & Physical Sciences Revision

eduCate supports matric learners from under-resourced communities through a national, CAPS-aligned Mathematics and Physical Sciences revision programme. It combines engaging lessons, supporting textbooks, teacher interaction and digital resources to help learners prepare for their final examinations and build stronger foundations for further study.

Matric Mathematics & Science Revision

EduCate is one of the leading national youth education programmes that prepares matriculants to excel in their final examinations. Our comprehensive sessions cover the entire Matric Mathematics and Physical Sciences curriculum in an educational yet entertaining manner, cultivating a youth population of critical thinkers and problem solvers.

What Is The Programme About?

Strong mathematics and science education can open pathways into tertiary study, STEM careers and other areas requiring critical skills. eduCate addresses gaps in revision support by making structured, high-quality learning materials available through cinemas, rural school engagements and online channels. The programme is supported by the Department of Basic Education.

Our mission is to cultivate a generation of problem solvers equipped with the necessary skills to succeed. 

Join us in our mission to empower the next generation of leaders and unlock their full potential.

 “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

- Nelson Mandela

So how does it work?

The programme brings together curriculum-based revision sessions, dedicated learning materials and continuing support. Learners may participate through cinema-based learning, in-school delivery for communities beyond cinema reach, and resources available on Primestars Digital.

Students are transported to cinemas nationwide, where they attend “theatres of learning” for 10 consecutive sessions (five maths lessons and five science lessons) on Sunday mornings.

We’re committed to making education accessible to all, including those in rural areas beyond the reach of cinemas. That’s why we transport the necessary equipment to extend the programme to schools in remote locations.

All beneficiaries receive dedicated mathematics and physical science textbooks with relevant past exam questions in solutions, which are essential for exam preparation.

Designed to enhance the support and engagement of our programme, primestarsdigital.co.za provides learners with access to our curriculum and learning materials from anywhere, at any time.

Programme Goals

To strengthen matric examination readiness in Mathematics and Physical Sciences; build confidence, critical thinking and problem-solving skills; provide accessible revision resources; support educator engagement; and help improve future pathways into tertiary education and economic opportunity.

To achieve this, we have set the following goals:

  • Prepare underserved South African youth for their Matric Math and Science examinations, with the goal of increasing the number of matriculants passing and the number of Bachelor passes.
  • Motivate South African youth to not only pass Math and Science but to excel in these subjects, with a long-term vision of enabling access to tertiary education and economic opportunity.
  • Provide support and continued development opportunities for participating teachers.
  • Provide participating learners with access to some of the best educators in Math and Science, as well as detailed revision material to deepen their understanding of the subjects – free of charge.
