Policy Briefing - The Perivoli Schools Trust Early Child Care and Education - Messages for Early Years Programming, Training & Policymaking in Namibia

The study explores the impact of the PST Teacher Training Programme (NTTP) on the lives and well-being of children, families and the wider communities in three selected regions of Namibia. It provides a preliminary evidence base in relation to the fidelity of the PST approach ‘on the ground’ to the model’s principles, and the future potential of using waste materials to build environmentally conscious, sustainable, educational activities and resources to support children’s learning and development in their formative years. The study’s findings aim to contribute understanding of the PST Educarer training approach, so as to reap its full potential in Namibia and beyond. The study offers knowledge on Educarer training to the early years’ education and care sectors to help inform the development of Early Childhood Development policy and programming throughout Namibia.
