Over 230 educators graduate from Tools for Life training
The teachers trained very hard during the school holidays to learn how to tackle learning barriers and improve the quality of education.
More than 230 educators from all levels converged at Castle Kyalami for one of the largest Learner Support Workshop graduation ceremonies on July 25.
Earlier in July, a very successful Learner Support Professional Development seminar was held at Castle Kyalami. The teachers trained very hard during the school holidays to learn how to tackle learning barriers and improve the quality of education for all learners using the Tools for Life programme from the Scientology Volunteer Ministers.
They also learned other practical tools such as handling study difficulties, conflict resolution, communication, how to achieve goals, drug awareness, and more to further equip them to assist their students and themselves in dealing with life situations in and outside the classroom.
In attendance were several executives from various Department of Education districts, teachers, and school principals who all uniformly expressed how revolutionary Tools For Life is and how this programme is the exact solution for the education sector in South Africa.
Deeply worried by the state of education in the country, they dedicated the June to July school holidays to empowering themselves with Learner Support tools so they can better assist learners who face learning barriers.
Public affairs director of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, Sandile Hlayisi welcomed the graduates and said they had the power to create a better future for everyone – and it starts with this generation.
Officer Sylvia Masombuka, a community educator for the Johannesburg Metro Police Department and a principal of a preschool, attended the graduation and said the courses have changed her life.
“They gave me a full understanding of other people and how to deal with them. Even at my Early Childhood Development Centre, I used to help parents with their children based on what I hoped was correct. But now, I am trained to handle every situation. I just apply one or more of these tools. I have gained so much knowledge and these courses have really put me in a good space,” said Masombuka.
Hlayisi explained that by providing practical tools to the educators, he feels that they will create confident learners, “We can improve education and other conditions by working together.”
