DBE National Consultative Conference on Curriculum Strengthening
The two days Department of Education (DBE) National Consultative Conference on Curriculum Strengthening is taking place 9-10 September 2023 at the Birchwood Conference Centre.
Over 400 principals, educators, parents, districts, unions and official representatives are in attendance. The goal of the Consultative process is to provide feedback on how stakeholders respond to the idea of curriculum strengthening as well as the SA competency framework. Under the
Save the Children South AfricaBridging the Gap programme, the JET research team is conducting research
related to teacher development and curriculum reform.
