Results

 

The Eastern Cape DBE engaged the PMDP Consortium during 2012/13, together with certain teacher development programmes, in an effort to improve the education outcomes in the province.

​

The average improvement in NSC results by schools that were part of the PMDP was 18,5% compared with the provincial average of 5,4%. 21 schools which participated in the programme had previously recorded NSC results of less than 30%. 15 of these schools (i.e. 71%) achieved over 30% in 2012/3.

​

As a result of these achievements a further cohort of 140 schools is already underway and discussions are taking place around a much wider rollout in the province.

“At the beginning I wasn’t happy… later my perceptions of the programme changed as I saw that it was something different, something that opened my eyes. As an HOD, I think I will recommend it to every other school. I found it developing, interesting and thank everybody involved in bringing it…”
