I have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.

I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.

‘All foundation phase educators, esp. Grade R, should attend this workshop. If everyone in the education system uses this BCP model, we should see remarkable improvements in the learners' LIT/NUM over a couple of years.’ (Metro North, 2009)
