The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.
Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015
What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.

We were taught the theory as well as the practice. I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.

I have never been to such a training. I was motivated and I can't wait to implement at the ECD and I hope I'll be doing my best!
Northern Cape Project (Phase 2, 2020-2021): Training Feedback
The course was clear, open and easy to understand basic concepts. What I liked most was that it links with the curriculum and it really works. It needs to be implemented at my centre.

I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.
Metro South Training, Western Cape Education Department, 2015
Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable. The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!
