St Martin De Porres hosts Swedish teachers
Four teachers and a principal visited the school to share innovative teaching techniques.
St Martin De Porres School recently had the honour of hosting a delegation from Slottsskolan School in Sweden as part of the Port Shepstone Twinning Association Educational Exchange Programme.
The delegation, consisting of four teachers and a principal, visited the school to share innovative teaching techniques and engage in a cultural exchange aimed at fostering sustainable education.
During their visit, the Swedish teachers observed lessons and shared their expertise with local teachers, focusing on best practices in inclusive education. In turn, they gained valuable insights into the South African education system, with a special emphasis on South African Sign Language (SASL) and the importance of inclusivity in the classroom.
“This exchange has been an eye-opening experience for both our guests and our staff,” said St Martin De Porres principal Dion Davey.
“Learning from each other’s teaching methods will help us enhance the quality of education in our school and broader community.”
The collaboration highlighted the importance of global partnerships in education and how shared knowledge can contribute to long-term improvements in teaching and learning. With inclusivity at the heart of the exchange, both schools left inspired to implement new strategies that will benefit students of all backgrounds and abilities.
The visit marks a step forward in strengthening international ties and ensuring that education remains a powerful tool for sustainable development in Port Shepstone.
