The Northern Cape Project (2018 - 2024): Reaching All Grade R Learners

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.

The emphasis on language throughout the programme helps to develop learners' understanding of concepts and expand their vocabulary. The BCP stops learners from guessing, it gives them more structure and develops their cognitive functioning.

Metro Central Teacher Comment (July 2013)

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.

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.

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.

Kwena Basic Education Trust

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.

Schools Improvement Initiative, UCT (June 2013)

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.
