The participants also visited Buhlebuzile Secondary School in Thokoza and Monde Primary school. At Monde, the participants were taken aback by the sheer passion of the principal who uses learner assessment data to identify at-risk learners and then assists them with overcoming those barriers. Monde Primary School is was also an example of how teachers can get results when they look at learners holistically.
Lastly, the participants visited the Givaudan production plant, which is a flavours and fragrance manufacturing company. The visit exposed them to manufacturing practices and aimed to encourage thinking around the efficiencies in production that can translate into a learning environment.
These site visits created the space for thoughts to be challenged, questions to be asked and ideas to spark. As a result, our changemakers gained the inspiration needed to innovate improved approaches to their own teaching or education methods in the future.
