The hearings formed part of the Committee's ongoing interaction with national departments and provinces to monitor their spending patterns on conditional grants allocated to them. The purpose of the Dinaledi Schools Grant is to promote mathematics and physical science teaching and learning. The strategic goal is to increase the number of learners taking mathematics and physical science, with a special focus on female learners. Key outputs of this Grant include mobile science laboratories, maths kits and textbooks for each learner in Dinaledi schools and training teachers on content knowledge.
