The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.

Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

Now I can help the learners from our poorer areas to verbalize for themselves…  they are becoming more confident and starting to love their educational journey.

Strategies to help teachers to support learners to think, as well as thinking about how thinking occurs and what the gaps might be.

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.

Very informative. Well planned. Well organised. Based on CAPS. Good intervention programme.
