Many of the learners in our school in Kroonstad are being brought up by their elderly grandmothers who find today’s child and teenager so different from their own.
We want to trial a pilot program of 8 sessions with two educational psychologists between May and September 2018, helping our Grannies to grow in understanding themselves better and the children they are caring for, as well as the education these children are exposed to (often unwillingly).
Our hope is to have them as our educational partners, to build their confidence, and make their caring more relevant to the needs of our 21st Century students.
