Healthcare screening for learners improves learning outcomes

Through partnerships with NPOs and other stakeholders, and as part of our SLP3 commitments for Mototolo, we provided health screening and treatment to learners in the Mototolo and Twickenham communities to address obstacles they may experience.

The programme is aligned to the Department of Health’s integrated school healthcare programme and ensures health issues do not impede learners’ ability to succeed at school.

Together with AFIA-TAI, a non-profit organisation that delivers comprehensive healthcare services to underprivileged communities, we developed a programme that contributes to learner readiness by screening students to identify any oral, visual and auditory issues.

The programme assisted 25,600 learners at 36 schools in 2025. A team of nurses and doctors provides treatment, where possible and children were referred to specialists where complex health issues were identified.

Through our partnership with Stefanutti Stocks and Vision4Change, we tackled visual hindrances for learners through the Framing Future campaign in Mototolo.

Screening students at Ngwaabe Comprehensive Secondary School, Kgoboko School, Tekanang High School and Masebudi and Diketepe Primary Schools tested learners’ vision and provided glasses to those who needed them.

Both partnerships are aimed at enhancing learners’ educational experience and assisting them to achieve their goals.
