The Control Board meeting was held on Friday July 30th. The Control Board meeting is a chance for all the stakeholders to report how they are progressing towards the strategic objectives of the Project.
It was a very productive and encouraging meeting where the full scope of the Project was clearly demonstrated. To document all the feedback would take too long, but some key points that were shared included:
how many extra learners had received much needed food at school
how a holiday feeding scheme had been put in place
the details of peer educator HIV training
the screening and treatment of learners with eyesight difficulties in a pilot project at one school
the development of lab assistants and a community ICT technician
the training and development of educators who had little or no exposure to computers prior to ZSP
the focus on using computers as an important tool in raising the standards of numeracy and literacy in the Mitchell's Plain cluster schools
Part of the meeting was an honest assessment of the strategies needed in the next six months to allow further progress to occur.
An example of what is happening in the schools. Below is a video (please excuse the quality as it was shot using a cell phone) of grade 1 learners (6-7 years) totally engrossed in their maths...one of the ZSP successes!
