Annual Basic Education Sector Lekgotla set for 26 - 28 January at Emperors Palace and online
The Department of Basic Education will host the annual Basic Education Sector Lekgotla from 26 – 28 January 2022. The Lekgotla will be held in hybrid form with only 200 delegates attending physically at Emperors Palace, Kempton Park and all other delegates attending through a virtual platform. Virtual attendance is recommended due to COVID-19 restrictions and the limited seats available.
The Theme for 2022 is: “Equipping Learners with Knowledge and Skills for a Changing World in the Context of COVID-19”.
The overall focus of the Lekgotla will be the recovery plan for basic education. The gathering will provide space to discuss the impact of COVID-19 (including learner drop out and the extent of learning losses); examine learning recovery approaches and the DBE Framework; and assess progress made in the implementation of programmes to equip learners with knowledge and skills for a changing world.
