The Oukasie Development Trust (ODT), launched in 1992, is the brainchild of the Oukasie community, which is the disadvantaged community within the Brits District. The name change to Platinum Development Trust took place in September 2005. The PDT has made a tangible difference to the lives of the people of Oukasie through:Land acquisition, Property Ownership, Upgrading of township facilities, Health projects, Economic development, Information Technology (IT) – courses offered from basic computer literacy through to network engineering and Education drive in the form of Maths & Science Education Project (MSEP)
It is against this background that the PDT-MSEP has gone beyond Oukasie to reach other disadvantaged communities, with the aim of helping towards uplifting the standard of teaching and learning of Mathematics and Science in the classroom. The next step in growth is to extend this opportunity to the Early Childhood Development level. The PDT does not discriminate against gender, colour, race or ethnicity.
The PDT in 1996 in addressing challenges faced in the teaching of Science and Mathematics in the Brits District (Central Region) initiated BASTEC, now called PDT-MSEP.
The participants and beneficiaries of the PDT-MSEP project are the educators and learners, in the intermediate phase (Grade 4 – 6), senior phase (Grade 7 – 9) and FET (Further Education Training) Grade 10 – 12, in five circuits in the Brits District, namely, Brits, Mmakau-Mothotlung, Bakwena-Bapo, Letlhabile and GaRankuwa.
Because PDT is an established TRUST and has its own building, PDT Science and Technology Centre, in Oukasie, it has the advantage of being able to serve the community efficiently and effectively. The centre is utilized for a number of activities including Maths and Science workshops, a Science laboratory which is used by educators and learners alike, a successful computer centre offering lessons from free typing courses through to complete networking programmes. The centre is used for numerous community meetings from taxi associations to AIDS awareness support groups and Social workers. In March 2005 the first automated community library was launched at the PDT centre and has experienced growth in support and often cannot house the volume of patrons.
