Monday, September 15, 2025 - 09:00 to Tuesday, September 16, 2025 - 09:00

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.

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

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.

Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, May 2016

I was very happy about my development on this course… often as teachers we do not pay attention to detail, but because of Basic Concepts I was aware of the lack of language use in my class. I am now using a different approach with my learners and being aware of the small details that make a big change in the way I teach and learners learn. Thank you for this eye opening course.

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

I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.
