Altron Nexus helps elevate learning conditions in Tshwane Schools

The Tshwane Schools project came out of the Nelson Mandela Day programme in 2019 at Mmatso Primary School, when Gauteng Department of E-Government MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko requested Altron to assist with the renovation of schools, which were in a poor condition. One of Altron Nexus’ values is “being passionate about employees and customers, partners and their communities”, and the company promised to assist with the concerns raised.

In February 2021, Altron embarked on a Corporate Social Initiative project for three Tshwane rural schools in the Hammanskraal area, Mmatso Primary School, Ramabele Secondary School and Rapelego Primary School, to assist with elevating their premises and learning conditions.

The project was delayed due to the pandemic, and work commenced in June with the delivery of furniture. Due to lockdown restrictions, exterior renovations only began in November and were completed early January.

To assist the schools with an introduction to the fourth industrial revolution, administration, increased productivity and quality reporting, Altron Nexus is donating five laptops per school. E-Gov is currently connecting the schools on the Gauteng Broadband Network as the previous providers were cut off due to affordability.

As part of Altron’s 2.0 strategy, we look to be a responsible environmental, social, and corporate governance company.

The schools initiative gives an imprint to our goal of doing good business while doing good; benefitting the teachers by improving their exposure to technology, lesson planning, and improving their knowledge and understanding on the Fourth Industrial revolution.

We are there when it matters the most, living our values of delivering innovation that matters while being passionate about employees and customers, partners and their communities. Our schools produce our future leaders and employees, and as a concerned corporate, it is our responsibility to ensure they receive assistance.
