Basic Concepts are the building blocks on which cognition and perception is built.

Metro Central Training: WCED (February, 2015)

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.

‘It was one of the best training sessions that Metro North has presented….’ (Metro North, 2009)

Teacher Feedback

I love the programme. I was not aware of how to introduce a concept … . If I could reverse my years in teaching, I bet I would have produced mathematicians, scientists and doctors.

Metro Central Teacher Comment (July, 2013)

The Basic Concepts Programme is basically the same as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. It is a way of teaching… it gives individuals a way to structure their thinking and reasoning.

Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.
