Ronelle Klinck – a Microsoft Learning Consultant will accompany the group.
Anthony Salcito, Vice
Singapore was selected as the host country for E2 as it has a highly regarded education system, one of the highest literacy rates in the world and students regularly scoring top marks in maths and science. We wish our South African teachers well as they head to Singapore – and look forward to following what they are doing while they are there – and learning from their experiences upon their return to South Africa.
