The Resource Centre |
|
Our main priority for 2005 was to set up a Resource Centre to enable all the schools to have equal access to computers, books and other resources. We have converted an empty classroom block in one of the villages to provide a library, meetings room / audio visuals room and arts and crafts centre. This was formally opened in August 2006 and since then the centre has also acquired a computer lab donated by Safmarine PLC Two container loads of equipment for the centre ( donated by Green Standards Trust and Education For All ) have been sent so far. Money to pay for the containers was raised by TVS supporters Philip and Annie |
|
Computer Training Training Courses For Teachers TVS has set up a computer training room at Fort Hare University which is providing computer training for Ikhwezi teachers. Since 2006 over 40 teachers have completed a basic course and have received certificates. Further courses on using Computers for teachers has also run. |
|
Training Courses For Students Since April 2008 TVS has organised computer introduction courses for groups of students from Ikhwezi schools. Students are transported to the resource centre in the minibus which has been funded by TVS supporters By the end of 2008 all 25 Ikhwezi primary schools and 10 secondary schools will have completed a 6 session induction course |
