Twenty five intermediate and students in the further education and training phase from the School of Education at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently completed a Family Math and Family Science programme, presented by the Centre for Education Development (CED). The students did the programme in order to complete the practical component of their community-service learning module. In order to qualify, each student, in addition to the contact sessions, also had to organise and present one Family Math and one Family Science community workshop. The training was sponsored by Old Mutual. Here are, from the left: Ms Lorraine Botha, Programme Facilitator at CED, Ms Elizna Prinsloo, Project Co-ordinator at CED, Tsehla Tsiboho, student, Maurese Myburgh, Kenyaditswe Maele, Megan Keyzer and Chin-Wen Tsai, all students from the School of Education at the UFS.
