“At Engen we are very passionate about education, which is why our Engen Maths and Science Saturday Schools (EMSS) have for over three decades seen thousands of successful graduates benefit from the programme,” says Engen’s CSI manager Mntu Nduvane.

Free classes

Engen Maths and Science Saturday Schools provide supplementary classes in Maths, Science and English in four provinces across South Africa. Scholars from grades 10-12 attend free classes every Saturday at four centres in KwaZulu-Natal, three in the Eastern Cape and one in both the Western Cape and Gauteng.

“Testament to our future skilled leaders is that year-on-year, the results of our graduates have soared with favourable increases in the average pass rate of learners as well as the number of learners who achieve bachelor passes and subject distinctions,” says Nduvane.

EMSS respond to and recognise the need we have in our country for more engineers and technical experts in the petrochemical industry.
