Western Cape Primary Science Programme

The Western Cape Primary Science Programme (PSP) is a teacher in-service training and support organisation that has been working since 1985 to address the inequalities in education in South Africa.

The PSP is a centre for excellence in primary education and aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning in South African primary schools in the critical fields of Mathematics & Numeracy, Natural Sciences & Environment, Language & Literacy Development and Social Sciences.

With a core staff of highly skilled and experienced education specialists, PSP projects are implemented in the most disadvantaged communities in the Western Cape, providing comprehensive and ongoing support to primary school teachers as well developing quality teacher support materials and resources.

Interested in Photography?

The PSP constantly has to document its work and one of the best ways to do so is to take great photographs of us, our schools, teachers and children in action.

While every PSP staff member takes photos whenever possible, we are far from being trained photographers and would therefore like to invite volunteers or/and interns who are interested and skilled in photography.
