About the SA Maths and Science Teacher Intern Programme: The Southern African Mathematics and Science Teacher Intern Programme (SAMSTIP) aims to get to the root cause of skills shortage within South Africa, which is a lack of quality mathematics and science teachers. The programme focuses on quality education provided by ISASA member schools to produce mathematics and science teachers, by increasing the number of school-leavers from disadvantaged communities passing mathematics. ISASA is a non-profit organisation and is Southern Africa’s biggest, oldest and most inclusive independent (private) school association. The organisation serves more than 800 schools in South Africa; Namibia; Botswana; Zambia; Lesotho; Swaziland; Angola and Mozambique, which in turn educate over 180 000 pupils. ISASA represent a range of educational levels, religious affiliations, and socio-economic and cultural communities. The organisation aims to create an environment whereby quality education is available to all students across southern Africa.
