Teachers are the Heartbeat of our Nation!
The teaching of Maths and Science in South African schools is among the worst in the world. One of the contributing factors for this is that Maths and Science teachers don’t have adequate support and necessary platforms to collaborate, obtain and share knowledge, ideas and solutions with one another in these two key subjects. Consequently, teachers struggle to help learners to produce decent matric results in Maths and Science which would see them qualify for tertiary education and having numerous career options.

Zibuza.net is an online community that is designed and dedicated exclusively for South African teachers in the Basic Education sector promoting teacher development and advocacy. The community aims to help teachers save valuable time and ultimately improve classroom performance by enabling an environment of sharing and collaboration amongst all key stakeholders.
