Training. Training was first introduced in 2022, with 14 teachers attending our Cape Town in-person training and 35 teachers attending the Johannesburg training. Since then, participation has grown dramatically. In June 2025, attendance exceeded 90 participants, and in November 2025, we trained more than 100 attendees. Most encouragingly, our first Primary School training, held just one week ago, saw over 90 individuals register, highlighting a growing demand for support at primary level.
The following Executive team was elected for 2026. We congratulate them on their appointments and wish them well as they serve the broader community of Cambridge Educators in Southern Africa.
