This week is our first post-exam week. Some of the students did not come to school today and Mr. January says that others will not come next week because they think school is over after exams. This meant that the interns had smaller classes today (e.g. 30 instead of 40). The team teaching is going well since most students are still learning English. Our interns are learning how to explain and demonstrate in multiple ways so that the students understand what is being asked of them. Today Chris Blake and I met with representatives from the Calabash Trust. They do work with 10 schools in Port Elizabeth (Emafini is one of those schools). We discussed ways that we might be able to collaborate, particularly as it relates to my research on public education in democratic nations.
