It made me rethink how I teach and how I can change the language I use.

Christel House Training, July 2014

I found this course extremely helpful. One of the best I have attended. The programme makes so much sense and has really made me think!

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.

Metro Central: Training, October 2014

‘It is an excellent programme. Just a pity that not all reception year educators are exposed to the training. My understanding of the programme- it is developed to systematically mediate concepts so that learners are guided to develop an understanding and so that learning is meaningful.’ (Metro Central, 2012)

Training Feedback

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.

Basic concept is about improving teaching methods, language and the learning processes of our learners.
