1.2  – Phase Two

Phase 2, targeted feeder areas only within 65 km radius to the Eskom Kusile Project, and these will be grade 12, maths and science learners from the schools that have underperformed in 2014 final examinations.

Vitrovian with the help of DoE have identified these schools, gathered their statistics and joined them when they went to Eskom Kusile site.  The Eskom Kusile Project Director invited these learners to come to site in order to come and interact with the site engineers as well as to tour the project, for them to be motivated to choose engineering careers when they pass their matric.  2 teachers will accompany the learners to site every day of the visit

The following is the list of schools targeted and the number of learners:
