Foundation course in Eastern Cape

Premier Skills Physical Education programme kicked off in Eastern Cape in early October 2024. The first phase of the training, a foundation course, welcomed 65 enthusiastic teachers eager to enhance their skills in delivering quality physical education. Over five days, participants engaged in intensive training sessions designed to improve teaching methods and foster a love for sports among young learners. The initiative culminated in a vibrant community sports festival, where children from a local school experienced engaging activities led by the newly trained teachers.
