Senior Phase neglected, all focus on Grade 12. Evidence from Zenex-funded projects- Grade8&9 lose valuable teaching time at least 12 weeks per year - assessment and no schooling ‘study-time’ during matric exams @ZenexF @metcalfemary11 @DBE_SA @resepgroup #SeniorPhaseEducation

“Addressing learning backlogs is key to unlocking a learner's potential.

EGRP @DBE_SA building evidence over 10yrs. Biggest lever is instructional coaching to improve teaching and learner outcomes. External coaching works. Can Dept Heads (DHs)play role? Need training and time-DHs also class teachers @ZenexF @metcalfemary11 @funda_wande

Dep. Basic Education@DBE_SA

@ZenexF Given the extent of education need, channel 90% of philanthropic resources to systemic initiatives working with @DBE_SA government #educationindaba2024 @IPASA_News

Zenex Foundation@ZenexF·17 May

How best can philanthropy support systemic change? A call for greater stakeholder collaboration. We can best partner with govt if we collaborate. Challenging philanthropy to allocate a greater slice of their resources to systemic programmes in partnership with govt - 90:10.
