The Problem
South Africa has a Grade 9 decision gap.
Subject selection shapes every career option that follows. Most learners make this decision without any real guidance.
The decision layer is broken.
Billions are invested in education delivery. Near-zero goes into helping learners make the right decisions before it's too late.
