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.

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.

I realized that if one lays down a solid foundation for your learners they will become self-assured and confident human beings.

'Definitely exceeded my expectations. I see that the BCP can have far reaching consequences if implemented optimally. We were told the how and why of implementation rather than the what.' (Metro Central, 2012)

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.

I understand how I can assist my learners who need intervention. The BCP will boost the self-esteem and knowledge of weak learners. It definitely helps me to guide my learners, using the correct language applicable to the situation.
