Investec Promaths Social Challenge 2025

The following article was written by Thabo Makgalatiba, Grade 12 learner highlighting the team's participation and achievement in the Investec Promaths Social Challenge.

The Investec Promaths Social Challenge is a team-based innovation competition designed for high school learners participating in Investec's Promaths programme in South Africa.

While the core Promaths programme focuses heavily on mastering Mathematics and Science, the Social Challenge is designed to build critical leadership and interpersonal skills by positioning young people as active agents of social change.

Key Pillars of the Challenge

The competition requires teams of learners to identify real-world problems within their communities and propose actionable, sustainable solutions. The projects must address one of three main focus areas:

📚 Education
Improving school resources
Peer tutoring
Digital access
🌱 Environmental Conservation
Waste management
Recycling initiatives
Water conservation
💼 Youth Unemployment
Entrepreneurship ideas
Skills development initiatives

How it Works

Mentorship Throughout the challenge, we did not work alone. We were supported and guided by Promaths alumni, our school principal, as well as Investec staff members who act as corporate mentors and advisors.

Skill Development Beyond the competition itself, the challenge is designed to teach vital professional skills that aren't usually covered in a traditional maths curriculum, such as public speaking, persuasion, teamwork, financial planning, and critical problem-solving.

The Prizes

The competition is highly competitive, with more than 350 teams taking part.
🥇 1st Place – R250,000
🥈 2nd Place – R150,000
🥉 3rd Place – R100,000
