Join WEBINAR| Addressing the Learning Crisis in Senior Phase Education   We are proud to host a webinar to discuss the growing and urgent learning crisis in Senior Phase Education. This, as the Senior Phase of education is facing a critical challenge: low levels of learning outcomes that have persisted for years.   These gaps, starting from the early grades, worsen as learners progress, leading to some of the worst performances in our schooling system.   While the Foundation Phase is crucial, understanding the unique challenges of the Senior Phase is equally important. JOIN our Webinar NOW where we’ll dive into learning backlogs, curriculum challenges, and policy issues. Hear from officials from the Department of Basic Education, academics, and specialist practitioners as we explore innovative solutions to uplift this vital stage of education.   Join us through this link: https://lnkd.in/einTkYqZ   Let’s work together to bridge the learning gap! #ZenexFoundation #SeniorPhaseEducation #LearningOutcomes #EducationMatters
