LEFT-HANDERS EDUCATION FORUM AND TRAINING INTERNATIONAL NETWORK

This creative program of music, expression, sharing and learning was the result of a wonderful collaboration with Professor Eugene  Skeef, of the University of Johannesburg.  

The keynote speaker was Adv. Kholeka Gcaleka, South Africa’s Public Protector, who expressed a great understanding of the issues and showed great empathy towards left-handed learners and the need to remove the stigmatisation that currently exists.

The Dean of Education at University of Johannesburg, Professor Nadine Petersen, has committed to provide greater understanding and knowledge in teacher training courses at the University.
