Primary School Science Intervention

altPrimary School Science Intervention (PSSI) is a project devoted to promoting science in primary schools on a designated day. It is based on a hugely successful model implemented in Ireland.

Currently, South Africa is statistically ranked as one of the weakest countries in science and mathematics, particularly in the junior grades. In seeking to address this status, it is imperative that an interest and understanding of mathematics and science is instilled in the younger learners. We believe that this intervention will assist in doing that.
