The Northern Cape Department of Education in partnership
with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) hosted a week
long Mathematics camp in Upington for grade 11 learners in the quest to entice
more learners around the Province to pursue their careers in the Chartered
Accounting field. The department states that the identified 180 learners who
took part in the camp comes from all over the province and are those who have
been consistently achieving 60% and above in the Mathematics subject. The department
together with SAICA is hopeful to broaden learners’ knowledge in this scarce
field but most importantly to encourage learners in selecting Chartered
Accounting as their career of choice.
