Focus Area
The Zenex Foundation has three core focus areas which it carries out work, namely:
Early Grade Literacy & Numeracy Programme
Builds reading and numeracy teaching expertise at a critical entry point in the schooling system – the Foundation Phase.
Senior Phase English Mathematics Programme
Remediates mathematics and language backlogs at the point of entry to high school.
Thought
Leadership
Promotes evidence to
influence policy and practice.
Underpinning all our work is Research, Monitoring & Evaluation to ensure that evidence informs our work and also contributes to knowledge development in the education sector
