Type: article
Abstract: The Talent Development Programme (TDP) forms part of the Department of Science and Innovations' set of Science Engagement Projects and was initiated in 2005. The aim of the programme is to enhance youth's access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through identifying and supporting Grade 11 and 12 school-going learners that have shown talent and potential to excel in STEM areas. The focus is on improving learners' achievement in mathematics and science, encouraging them to take part in extra-curricular mathematics and science activities, and promoting their pursuit of STEMbased tertiary studies and career pathways. The TDP also strives to prepare participants for life in higher education and provides STEM related career guidance.
