Our vision is to mobilise business, government and civil society to work collaboratively towards meeting the educational challenges facing South Africa. The S@CC initiative speaks to the idea that enhancing the quality of education, improving the school environment and encouraging engagement between parents and teachers are meaningful and attainable goals that would provide an upward spiral of real change in society. S@CC is committed to realising the Third Dinokeng Scenario: Walking Together. This scenario envisions a future for South Africa marked by collaboration, engagement and active citizenship, in which multiple sectors work together in support of a better South Africa.

Numeric is interested in finding ways to increase access to and usability of Khan Academy in South Africa.

But we're not only talking about accessibility and usability, we're putting our money where our mouth is and taking it into the field ourselves!
