‘All foundation phase educators, esp. Grade R, should attend this workshop. If everyone in the education system uses this BCP model, we should see remarkable improvements in the learners' LIT/NUM over a couple of years.’ (Metro North, 2009)

Teacher Feedback

Teachers use questions that evoke thinking and inquiry, so that the learners are able to discover and experience for themselves.

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.

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!

I am blown away!!! This is most definitely the most useful course that I have ever attended.

The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.
