The #BackOnTrack programme is a big, bold intervention to reverse Covid-19 learning losses in the Western Cape. As educational leaders we have to act, and we have to act decisively, and we have to act in a way that has impact in order to deal with what is a full-blown learning crisis.
R1.2 billion will be invested into the #BackOnTrack programme over the next three years, to improve learning outcomes so that our children have a better future in the Western Cape. The programme marks a big change from ‘business as usual’ in our schools.
A key component of the #BackOnTrack programme is that all stakeholders in learning are being supported simultaneously, recognising that we can all make a contribution towards improving learning outcomes. A variety of teaching, learning and support methods (both in person and online) are coupled with bespoke resources and infused with 21st Century pedagogies.
