Department of Basic Education will conduct National Senior Certificate (NSC) Support Training for the Grade 12 Mathematics and Physical Science teachers in the Illembe District in Kwazulu Natal. The training will take place from today 10 July to Saturday 15 July 2017 at the Protea Edward Hotel in Durban. 

This training initiative is a partnership between the department and Statistics South Africa (StatsSA), who will train teachers on statistics and the Vodacom Foundation will provide tra9ining on Paper video. The Centre for the Advancement of Science and Mathematics Education (CASME) will provide the training programme.

The programme, which started last year, is aimed addressing teacher capacity which in turn influences learner performance at the NSC. There is evidence of improvements in the 2016 results and it I envisaged that the two sessions held to date will should show even bigger improvement in the 2017 NSC results.

Members of the media are invited to the training sessions as follows:

Date:              Monday, 10 June – Saturday, 15 June 2017
Time:             09h00 – 16h30
Venue:           Protea Edward Hotel, Durban KZN
