Part of the Project

Teacher training over the years (2010-2012) has been hands-on and engaging. Teachers have become familiar with the BCP training motto: "Show one, do one!"

Some comments from teachers after completing training in 2010:-

'We need to give them (the learners) an opportunity to teach us e.g. ask questions in order for you to know how much the kids know. By doing that you are engaging them (the learners)… you are giving them an opportunity to speak.'

'The Basic Concepts is a way to … help children and not teach them … so that they can think and know the meaning.'

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

I had an idea what the course would be like, but it was much more than what I had expected.

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.

'I can actually see results from using some of the ideas I got during the training.'

Central Training 2012

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.

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.
