The PSP works through a range of different projects, addressing the inequalities in education in South Africa. It aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning in primary schools in the critical fields of Mathematics & Numeracy, Natural Sciences & Technology, Environment, Language & Literacy Development and Social Sciences.

The three core programmes of the PSP are the Innovation Project, the Cluster Project and the Joint Mentorship Project.

PSP also runs specific training courses on Environmental Education as well as delivers contract work for the Department of Education and other fixed-term development projects.
