Afrika Tikkun Bambanani caters for ECD learning through learning app
The long-term vision is to standardise the Early Childhood Development curriculum throughout SA to ensure that no child is left behind in terms of education which will lead to equal opportunity for all children in SA.
Afrika Tikkun Bambanani launched its learning app, BambaLearn at the Houghton Hotel.
Expert insights were shared around the upskilling and training of teachers required to assess and monitor learner development on April 20.
Simultaneously, the programme is designed to facilitate teacher progression, equipping them to screen for learning difficulties and arrange an intervention, provide psychosocial support, and monitor child growth and progress.
Speaking at the launch, Afrika Tikkun CEO, Theresa Michael said the period from birth to six years old was the most vital stage of brain development for children and these informative years represent a crucial window of opportunity for education.
“The programme is developed to ensure early childhood care and education that is truly inclusive. It is much more than just preparation for Grade 1, Early Childhood Development is the foundation for emotional well-being and learning throughout life, and is one of the best investments a country can make as it promotes holistic development, gender equality and social cohesion.”
