Kulani Secondary is in Langa, Cape Town. This school serves a community of over 60,000 people, most of whom live in shacks. This school teaches 465 learners, and it is currently difficult for the students at Kulani Secondary to learn science. Most of the students have difficulty understanding the science concepts and their educators are looking for experiential methods to help the students grasp the theories. To help bring the students to par in their readiness and skills, the school needs an adequate science laboratory.
The SAME Foundation approached Kulani Secondary School, with the assistance of the Education Department, to meet this need. At present, we have had an entire computer lab funded for the school, but we still are seeking funding for the science lab. There is such a clear need at this school for the facilities and resources to teach science.
