Message from the Director

Dear Delegates,
On behalf of the Directorate Curriculum GET and specifically our InterSen team, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Rural Multigrade Conference 2025.
Multigrade schools are the beating heart of our rural districts, and the Western Cape Education Department applauds the remarkable work done by District officials, principals and teachers in these schools. This conference celebrates your commitment, highlights your innovations, and reaffirms the WCED’s ongoing support for Multigrade teaching.
Ons sê ook baie dankie aan al ons sprekers en aanbieders vir die tyd en toewyding wat julle gee om deel te wees van hierdie geleentheid. Ons sien uit na u insae en die waardevolle praktyke wat u met ons gaan deel. In the Multigrade space, we embrace collaboration, integration, and innovation. Enjoy these two days—make new connections, learn from one another, and return inspired to continue making a difference.
Mrs. Karen Dudley
Director: Curriculum General Education and Training [GET]
