What makes a school effective? A South African perspective.

A presentation and workshop on context and resilience of teachers and learners from a South African perspective and a chance to help you think out of the box! A short lecture on the South African schooling system – a quick overview of an immensely complex basic education system will provide context. You will get a glimpse of top performing schools in very rural and/or socially deprived settings in South Africa by means of video footage of schools and lecturer-participant discussions. 'What are these schools doing differently?' and 'Are there any links to be made between the South African schooling context and contexts within your country?' are some of the questions that will be dealt with in the workshop.
