1. Project started in Khayelitsha – 2011 – drew on experiences of Wits’ “Targeting Talent” project which focused on getting deep rural school learners into Wits
Khayelitsha was chosen due to its under-representation of this community at UCT (UCT Institutional planning stats) – for years some schools not having any student graduating from UCT
Record of poor matric results (WCED stats, ) – learners not attaining university admission points
100-UP is a continuous project and is currently one of the key objectives of SII

ALL 20 secondary schools in

Residential holiday camps;

Project beneficiaries? 20 secondary schools x 5 academically gifted learners from each per grade

Project success
Those who opted to attend other institutions, went to do their first choice of study, after it was not offered to them at UCT for various reasons
The 2014 and 2015 intakes are drawn from 19 out of the 20 Khayelitsha schools

5. How well have the 1st years in 2014 do at UCT?
So the REAL question is...
How well have the 1st years in 2014 do at UCT?

6. End of First year 2014 68 (86%) passed and progressed into 2nd year
100-UP+ mentoring & support programme, a key addition to the university’s First Year Experience
Success of 1st years – ascribed to the continuous support and exposure they receive from UCT careers services in CHED
N.B. to have these structures in place when students arrive to UCT – overcoming 1st year battles
