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.

Very well put together course: well researched, well prepared, well delivered. A course that can be trusted to yield results when applied in practice, and therefore a much needed and valuable tool to implement with learners who are in danger of failing to learn adequately.
