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.
Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015
I had an idea what the course would be like, but it was much more than what I had expected.
Metro Central Training: WCED (February, 2015)
I am extremely grateful for being exposed to this programme … I'm always worried about those learners who are not progressing. The programme can support these learners in order to lay the foundation for academic progress. Practically my whole class needs this Foundation!!! How can I start with formal teaching if they do not know their Basics.

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)
I am blown away!!! This is most definitely the most useful course that I have ever attended.
Overberg District, Western Cape Department of Education (February, 2019)
It was a weekend to remember… I had enough time to make plans for things at home. Thank you, it was a joy to listen to someone so passionate about his work.
