OUR AFTERSCHOOL INTERVENTIONS
Findings of KWFCDT Community Development Plan (CDP) specific to the socio-economic, gender and education development revealed a need for impactful afterschool interventions. Consequently, Simple Tech ICT Solutions was appointed in March 2021 as the implementing agent for the KWFCDT Afterschool Programme at a budget of R10 529 885.00 over five years.
The Afterschool programme was deployed in six primary schools, namely Sea Vista, Sandwater, Kruisfontein, Mzingisi, St Patricks and Graslaagte within the four beneficiary communities. It seeks to boost academic performance, reduce inappropriate behaviors, promote physical health and provide a safe, structured environment for children while also promoting and exposing young learners to STEM subjects and related careers.
Key Achievements
- Six local jobs were created for local artisans and a project manager during the infrastructure readiness phase which commenced in May 2021.
- Infrastructure readiness for all six schools has been completed.
- The “Train-the-Trainer” training programme for Science Teachers & Graduates was successfully completed for five schools.
- The “Coding & Robotics: Basic Projects (Fundamentals)” programme is in progress, with some courses completed
The Educator Training conducted by Lasec on the use of the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Kits was well received by teachers who expressed great interest in the workshop as it will enable them to transfer the knowledge to the learners. The training took place at Sea Vista Primary in November 2021. Mathetmatics and science teachers from Sea Vista, Sand Water Primary, Graslaagte and Kruisfontein Primary Schools were in attendance, however Mzingisi Primary teachers did not attend the training.
