Edublox honours its learners of the year
In a bid to recognise learners who have overcome the odds and managed to excel despite their difficulties Edublox, a South African company that helps children and adults with learning disabilities, introduced their Learner of the Year awards to reward learners on the Edublox programme for their hard work and achievements at school.
Edublox launched their first learning clinic as pilot project in 2007 and have been recognising learners who excel in their Learner of the Year awards ever since. Parents of learners on the Edublox programme are encouraged to put forward candidates that they feel have shown significant improvements.
Everyone is a winner
The criteria when looking for winners include results achieved at school, progress made, level of effort put in and challenges overcome such as poor self-image, doubt in their own abilities and a negative attitude towards reading or learning.
"All the learners who participate are winners," says Susan du Plessis, director of educational programs at Edublox. "It is an honour and a privilege to be able to reward these children who work so hard to achieve their goals. Over and above their success at school and the lifelong foundation of learning skills now created, they also learn that hard work and dedication will bring them success - a wonderful lesson in life," du Plessis states.
The four Learner of the Year winners for 2012 are Ameerudeen Kaffoor from Kempton Park,Kyle Christie from Pretoria East, Ongama Duze from Ballito and Troy Benson from theWest Rand. Each winner will receive R1 000 in prize money, as well as a certificate of achievement.
