Session 6-8: Working on commentary
5.7 CONCLUSION
I see my study as an important tool to get role players engaged in teacher education talking about the professional development of teachers. When teachers, especially in the Foundation Phase are held in greater esteem, educational transformation in South Africa would be enhanced. Training for teachers, especially in the Foundation Phase, need to consider the context and circumstances of the majority of South Africa. Poverty is still the most challenging struggle that we as South Africans need to overcome. Teaching needs to return to the noble profession it once was in South Africa. Foundation Phase teaching is a key that can unlock many possibilities for young children who grow up in vulnerable
93
circumstances. Support for Foundation Phase teachers in their continuous professional development is critical if we are to map brighter futures for children in early childhood education.
