These are just some of the comments from the delegates:

"Presenters were practical and touched on the core of the curriculum. I am going back with zeal to motivate subject advisors in the 12 districts that I work with as provincial coordinator. The conference helped to revive the culture of commitment and made curriculum advisors realize that they are an important structure in delivering the curriculum"

 

"The speakers were well prepared and spoke about basic things that are happening or that need to happen. I enjoyed sharing ideas with other curriculum advisors and learning more about schools that work."

 

"This conference was very well organized, with excellent speakers. I enjoyed finding out about the positive things an individual can do to make a difference, instead of hearing about more policy and big plans."

 

"All the presentations were very good. I felt affirmed as curriculum advisor – this is definitely THE conference for us."

 

"The pre-conference masterclasses and the many relevant topics were highlights. The conference affords an opportunity for critical evaluation outside the mainframe of government. I enjoyed the exhibition, particularly the chance to view the IT displays. It was also very valuable to meet colleagues from different provinces and share ideas."

 

"I liked the fact that this was a national gathering of delegates that provided a forum for debate and discourse on pressing issues and challenges. Also the information sharing, empowerment, meeting other delegates and socializing. I also enjoyed meeting the people from the publishing companies and the IT companies."

All in all, the feedback was very positive, and we look forward to an even more successful event next year. Watch this space!
