First Training & Support Sessions

Training Details

Dates: 15 & 16 September
Time: 9:00 – 16:00
Venue: Ukhwezi Primary School, Belfast

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.
