The education office is also actively making use of its assets, mainly the district facilitators, who have already been trained and are skilled in facilitating training. Furthermore, with ministerial regulations #22-23, which state that teaching and learning approaches should be active, creative, effective and enjoyable these approaches have become obligatory for schools.
Because of this, the facilitators have received many requests to facilitate training in non MBE schools.
