Education
Education is a critical national priority and one that has significant
impact on the future success of South Africa. At the same time Engen relies on the
education system to produce a dependable and sizeable pool of highly qualified technical
and commercial candidates to draw on to ensure the uninterrupted success and sustainability
of its business into the future.
Our focus on Education aims to drive the development of a growing pool of technical
and commercial human resources, providing supplementary support to government efforts
to promote Maths, Science and Technology. This investment is aligned to the Engen
bursary programme and skills development scheme to ensure continuity and to maximize
Engen's investment on all fronts.
Currently, Engen supports eight Maths and Science Incubator schools, in which 1
200 learners are enrolled every year across the country. Launched two years ago,
Engen's Incubator Schools programme is the company's flagship education intervention
initiative and is already having a profound impact on Maths, Science and English
education in some of South Africa's most under-resourced communities. The programme
evolved out of the Engen Saturday Schools initiative, launched 23 years ago and
exposes learners from grades 10 to 12 - who show potential in these subjects - to
high-quality teachers and educational materials.
