,A message from the NECT
National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT)
DEAR TEACHERS
This learning programme and training is provided by the National Education Collaboration
Trust (NECT) on behalf of the Department of Basic Education (DBE). We hope that this
programme provides you with additional skills, methodologies and content knowledge that
you can use to teach your learners more effectively.
WHAT IS NECT?
In 2012 our government launched the National Development Plan (NDP) as a way to
eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by the year 2030. Improving education is an
important goal in the NDP which states that 90% of learners will pass Maths, Science and
languages with at least 50% by 2030. This is a very ambitious goal for the DBE to achieve on
its own, so the NECT was established in 2015 to assist in improving education.
The NECT has successfully brought together groups of people interested in education so that
we can work collaboratively to improve education. These groups include the teacher unions,
businesses, religious groups, trusts, foundations and NGOs.
WHAT ARE THE LEARNING PROGRAMMES?
One of the programmes that the NECT implements on behalf of the DBE is the ‘District
Development Programme’. This programme works directly with district officials, principals,
teachers, parents and learners; you are all part of this programme!
The programme began in 2015 with a small group of schools called the Fresh Start Schools
(FSS). Curriculum learning programmes were developed for Maths, Science and Language
teachers in FSS who received training and support on their implementation. The FSS teachers
remain part of the programme, and we encourage them to mentor and share their experience
with other teachers.
The FSS helped the DBE trial the NECT learning programmes so that they could be improved
and used by many more teachers. NECT has already begun this scale-up process in its
Universalisation Programme and in its Provincialisation Programme.
Everyone using the learning programmes comes from one of these groups; but you are
now brought together in the spirit of collaboration that defines the manner in which the
NECT works. Teachers with more experience using the learning programmes will deepen
their knowledge and understanding, while some teachers will be experiencing the learning
programmes for the first time.
Let’s work together constructively in the spirit of collaboration so that we can help South
Africa eliminate poverty and improve education!
