We aim to see education transformed into an inclusive system where every learner, regardless of background, can excel in Maths. By using data to personalize learning, we’re breaking barriers & empowering teachers. Our innovation supports the education department in driving systemic change, fostering a future where Maths opens doors for all learners and creates long-term educational transformation

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

We created the Integrated Maths Program because we saw the deep challenges in Maths education, with many learners feeling left behind. As former teachers, we knew Maths could open doors, but too often, socio-economic barriers stood in the way. The program uses tech and data to break down those barriers, ensuring every child, regardless of background, has the chance to succeed in Maths

What does your innovation look like in practice?

The IMP transforms Maths education for grades 3-7 through the Maths Curriculum Online (MCO), a platform aligned with South Africa’s curriculum. Learners complete interactive online exercises with real-time feedback, allowing them to instantly track progress. Teachers use the MCO dashboard to monitor both individual & class performance, adjusting instruction based on real-time data to address learning gaps. IMP is designed for low-data usage & device neutrality, ensuring accessibility even in under-resourced areas. It empowers teachers with insights to tailor lessons, while parents stay engaged tracking their child’s development.
The education department uses the MCO dashboard to oversee schools’ progress at district & provincial levels, leveraging data for decision-making, resource allocation, & targeted interventions. IMP fosters collaboration among learners, teachers, parents, & officials, creating a data-driven system that improves Maths outcomes & drives system change

How has it been spreading?

The Integrated Maths Programme (IMP) has expanded to over 750 schools, reaching more than 403,000 learners and 7,500 teachers across diverse areas in South Africa, from urban centers to rural and under-resourced regions. Its device-neutral, low-data technology ensures accessibility in even the most resource-limited environments. Supported by partnerships with the education department and stakeholders, IMP's real-time data enables personalized learning, fostering growth in schools of all types. Its impact on learners, teachers, and parents has driven widespread adoption, without relying on extensive marketing​
