Stanford Student Reflects on her Internship at Basic Concepts Unlimited

I am so grateful for Basic Concepts because it allowed me an entry point to public schools in South Africa.

The impact this program has on teachers and students was evident from my attendance at Basic Concepts trainings and my immersion at Blomvlei Primary School.

From the in-person training I attended, I noticed teachers were engaged throughout and felt that what they were learning was actually applicable for the students’ learning.

As someone who mediated with Basic Concepts, I appreciated the individualized attention learners received, which in turn built trust between the mediator and the learner - making the learning process different from the typical classroom experience.
