Old Mutual is a significant participant in SA’s national transformation agenda which is critical for South Africa’s socio-economic progress. The role education plays in South Africa’s socio-economic and political transformation is important in providing the critical skills needed for the country’s economic growth.
The Old Mutual Education Flagship Programme(OMEFP) is aimed at contributing towards the improvement of quality of education by improving Literacy and Numeracy levels of South African children from Grade RR to 7, using home language and bi/multilingual teaching methods. The programme’s core change levers are:
- Teacher and leadership development training
- Provision of reading and mathematics materials to support teaching and learning
- Parental and learner engagement
- Research and Development
By proactively addressing these components, the programme strives to achieve substantial and sustainable improvements in literacy and numeracy. This approach not only strengthens educational outcomes but also fosters community cohesion, resulting in a significant contribution to the broader educational landscape.
At Old Mutual, we aim to help learners and teachers access digital content that follows the national curriculum. Together with education departments and learning institutions, we’ve developed high-quality financial education resources in multiple formats and languages. These study tools are available on multiple platforms. This initiative is called Old Mutual Learn.Think.Do. Programme
