Official Visit 1: Support and Mentoring

The Basic Concepts Foundation (BCF) team will visit all participating classes from 2–6 February 2026 to mentor teachers, provide feedback, and support the implementation of the Basic Concepts Programme (BCP).

Official Visit 2: Training and Mentoring

Continued professional development for teachers will take place from 16–20 March 2026, focusing on the introduction of the third and fourth conceptual domains – Size and Position.
