Some teachers' comments about training:
Metro Central

A full description of the Metro Central Basic Concepts project and an interim evaluation were presented in the form of a poster at the IACESA Conference, 2008.

The results of this follow-up testing one year after the intervention indicated that learners had maintained and in most cases improved on their 2006 scores.

The following are some examples of learner writing gathered during the project.

The project results for successive cohorts of learners in each particular grade showed a positive trend towards the norm.

The project was run at Umthombo Wolwazi School, a farm school in a remote region of the Northern Cape accessible only on a gravel road.

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

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

This workshop is one of the most beneficial workshops I have attended. The trainer’s presentation style was warm, easy to follow and understand. I like that he included practical activities, examples and demonstrations.
