The event offers teachers practical courses to improve their classroom and technical skills. Pupils can attend talks on career choices and how to find a job after matric.
African Education Week’s programme director Claire O’Connell said the expo was committed and passionate about helping to improve and change how teaching and learning takes place in classrooms across Africa.
“I want to invite all teachers to come along to African Education Week’s Learning Expo and attend more than 60 free workshops on the expo floor and learn from our expert speakers and from each other. A wide variety of topics are covered, from engaging students in science and maths, to applying the latest technology in the classroom,” she said.
Entrance to the Career Indaba expo is free and aims to bridge the gap for students between studying and entering the world of work with presentations on career guidance, job interviews and CV writing tips. All Grade 11 and 12 pupils, university and college students and their parents are welcome.
“Moms and dads will find the free workshops very helpful whilst guiding their children towards making important decisions regarding career choice, bursary deadlines, preparing for job interviews or starting a business,” said O’Connell.
The leader of Agang, Dr Mamphela Ramphele will give a keynote address at the opening session of African Education Week.
All expo visitors are urged to pre-register online at www.educationweek.co.za or www.careerindaba.co.za
