Give a child a desk with the Tutudesk campaign

Submitted by: MyPressportal Team

Results from a comprehensive independent research survey indicated that Tutudesk facilitated sharp improvements in multiple areas relating to literacy development and academic performance.

In the survey, 80% of teachers said that learner’s handwriting was easier to read, 77% said that Tutudesk had made learning easier for their students and that they were able to teach more effectively, 76% of teachers advised that Tutudesks had significantly improved the overall learning experience for their pupils and there was an overall 65% improvement in homework delivery.

Tutudesk is a Proudly South African product - locally produced, supporting local employment and the development of our economy. Made from a proprietary blend of premium materials, with every Tutudesk being 'child friendly' and highly robust so as to ensure its sustained use in the community over many years. Weighing in at less than 1kg, the Tutudesk is ergonomically designed and sits comfortably on the learner’s lap, providing them with a surface to write on, whether they are sitting on the floor or a chair. They further have a convenient carry handle, which ensures that they are easy to carry between classes and between school and home daily.

By 2020 the Tutudesk Campaign aims to have provided 20 million desks to 20 million children. This Youth Day, join MySchool on a step in that important journey.

Anyone who wishes to support The Tutudesk Campaign further is encouraged to sign up for a MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet card and select them as your beneficiary.
