The 45 participants (10 new and 35
experienced Peer Educators) were introduced to a set of new lessons
for the students in grade 6 and 7 that they are going to teach next
year. Most of the lessons were based on a story that illustrates a
particular value like hope, perseverance responsibility or
forgiveness. Other new lessons address the challenge of “sugar
daddies” and teenage pregnancies.
The participants received the new
lessons enthusiastically and felt competent to teach these lessons
next year.
On Thursday night (26.09.) a
colourful graduation ceremony was held for two long serving peer
educators. David Sizane and Boikhutso Choeu had managed to obtain a
certificate in “Adult Basic Education and Training” (ABET). This
certificate gives them not only the qualification to serve as mentors
in our Action Group Tshepanang but also opens the door for them to
become teachers in an ABET School. In these schools young drop outs
from the normal school system are given a second chance to acquire
the matric qualification.
