Primary Science Programme (PSP)

For over 40 years, PSP has been dedicated to improving the quality of science education in South Africa. Through teacher training, coaching, mentoring, and the provision of resources, we've worked to enhance science teaching and learning at the primary school level. 

In 2023 alone, various PSP’s projects worked with over 6,000 teachers teaching 300,000 learners from 1,200 schools. Notably, we were involved in the reworking of the CAPS curriculum for Natural Sciences and Technology (NST) in 2012.

At PSP, we offer SACE-accredited face to face and online courses, along with an extensive range of curriculum-aligned teacher support materials / teacher guides. Our approach emphasizes practical, inquiry-based teaching methodologies, and our objective is to elevate science education from Grade R through Grade 9, with a particular focus on the foundation and intermediate phases (Grade R-7). Some of our generic courses can be beneficial to Grade 8-12 teachers & School Management Teams (SMTs).
