Training

Since he joined us, our Director of Training and Welfare, Mr Paul Davis, has hit the ground running and has been facilitating various training sessions and workshops in Harare and Bulawayo for both teaching and non-teaching staff in our member schools . He has also introduced a new platform which most have welcomed in the form of hosting online coffee sessions in the morning between 07h30 and 08h00. Various education and subject matter experts have been invited to share insights and kickstart discussions on topical issues in the education space.
