ZFM TRAINING PROGRAMME (2023)

The project will be initiated in this district at the start of the year.

The first group of Grade R teachers (n=50) will be invited to participate in the project. The majority of teachers will be drawn from schools within the Upington area.

Two ECD officials will also be involved in the training and support phases of the project.

The teachers will attend 6 training sessions over the year and will receive follow-up support visits immediately after the training sessions - see the training & support programme below.

 

Volunteer mentors will also be recruited in the district to provide additional support to the teachers with the implementation of the BCP.
