MGSLG, in partnership with the Gauteng Department of Education, is administering the programme for approximately 10,000 teachers in Gauteng province. NBA assisted MGSLG adapt existing open educational resources (OER) and develop new South Africa-specific content. In total, 56 units comprising 80 notional hours were developed for this initial teacher training course.
