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)

Encourages children to be observant and provides opportunity for building language skills - from basics to more complex.

Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)

‘It was one of the best training sessions that Metro North has presented….’ (Metro North, 2009)

Teacher Feedback

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

Pixley Kaseme: Training Sessions 1+2

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

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