ZSP Control Board

On Wednesday 18th April, 81 delegates joined together to review the progress of the ZSP Stage II and Stage III schools against the Strategic Objectives. The delegates consisted of representatives from the 20 schools in the ZSP family, 22 Education Department officials, Project partners, ZSP Team and the Project owner.

It was a very encouraging and uplifting event, where the progress at the schools was clearly highlighted by the various speakers. There will be more feedback from the Control Board in future posts.

"Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous"

Recently the ZSP Stage II schools carried out a self assesment of their progress with respect to the first four ZSP Strategic Objectives (ZSP Strategic Objectives)

Each school's feedback was delivered at the Control Board Meeting to their fellow Principals, Western Cape Education District officials, ZSP Team, Protea Education Development Project Chairman and other Project stakeholders.

Here are some of their comments..

Thanks to Beverley Johnson, Principal of John Graham for the quote from Confucius in the blog post title.

From vision to reality

Danny Gallagher, Chairman of Protea Education Development Project and Zisukhanyo Schools Project Owner, is currently visiting the Stage II & Stage III schools.


Danny has been able to see how his original vision for this Project, as shown by the Strategic Objectives, is now being realised by the ZSP schools and Team.

Stage I Control Board Meeting

The Stage I Project stakeholders met yesterday to present a penultimate self assessment before the Stage I Project closure at the end of August 2011.

School Principals, Metro South Education Department (MSED) Officials, ZSP Team and ZSP Partners reported on progress towards the different Project Strategic Objectives. It was very particularly encouraging to hear the MSED officials' assessment of how the Project has impacted on the schools' daily functioning. During the meeting Principals presented their ICT sustainability plans.

Danny Gallagher, Chairman of Protea Education Development Project (the Project owner), commented on the thought, honesty and detail that had gone into each of the assessments.
