First Training & Support Sessions 

The Kwena Basin Extension Project is launching soon, and we’re excited to kick things off with our first set of training sessions on Colour and Shape!

Training Details

Dates: 15 & 16 September
Time: 9:00 – 16:00
Venue: Ukhwezi Primary School, Belfast
Refreshments & lunch will be provided for educators.

Following the training, teachers will receive classroom support from the BCF team and local fieldworkers to guide their first implementation of the Basic Concepts Programme.

Support visits will take place 17–19 September.

Together, we’re taking important steps to strengthen teaching and learning in Mpumalanga Province.

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.

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.
