Concerning the PGCE student |
| |
| Abstract: | A large‐scale, school‐based in‐service project has attempted to improve the skills of teachers who use English as the medium of instruction in African primary schools in Soweto. The project has been financed by the private sector, but substantial assistance has also been received from the British Council. Responsibility for co‐ordination and administration of the programme has been accepted by the University of the Witwatersrand. A preliminary survey indicated that during the first year of its implementation with the Standard 3 teachers, attitudes have become favourably inclined towards the project. In addition, the resources made available to children have enhanced the possibility of effective learning. The financial outlay has been parsimonious if reckoned on the basis of the cost per individual child. |
