About 20 teachers across the Free State Province attended a Dutch day for teachers on the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS). The programme was presented by the UFS Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, German and French and funded by the Noordelike Neerlandistiek Kennisnetwerk. Matters such as the use of Dutch at South African schools and universities and practical hints for teaching grammar and literature were discussed.
