As MASA continues on the Road to 10 Years in Education, this milestone gives us an opportunity to reflect not only on how far the organisation has come, but on the measurable difference that sustained educational support can make in rural schools.
Over the years, we have learned that meaningful change does not happen through once-off interventions. It requires consistency, committed teachers, supportive school leadership, learner discipline, strong partnerships and the willingness to keep showing up.
One of the clearest examples is Seritarita Secondary School. When MASA began supporting the school in 2019, the matric pass rate was approximately 57.7%. Through sustained academic support and collaboration with the school, Seritarita progressed to 98.2% in 2025, with 111 out of 113 Grade 12 learners passing.
The journey at Mmatedu Secondary School tells a similar story. From a baseline of approximately 64.9% in 2021, the school progressed significantly, reaching 95.5% in 2024 and recording 91.1% in 2025. The challenge now is not simply to celebrate those results, but to sustain and strengthen them.
These numbers matter because behind every percentage is a young person whose opportunities can change through education.
As we move towards this important milestone, MASA's ambition continues to grow. We want to support more schools, strengthen Mathematics and Science performance, expand digital and technical skills, create more bursary opportunities and help more disadvantaged learners successfully transition into universities, TVET colleges and meaningful careers.
To the principals, teachers, learners, parents, communities, employees and partners who have contributed to this journey: thank you for building this story with us.
We are proud of the progress, but we also know that there is still much more to be done.
