Congratulations to Eleanor Hazell (JET Education), Garth Spencer-Smith (Kelello) and Nicky Roberts (Centre for Education Practice Research) on the publication of their article: Improving Grade R mathematics teaching in South Africa: Evidence from an impact evaluation of a province-wide intervention in the SAERA 2018 Conference Special Edition of the Journal of Education.

The Jala Peo (“Plant the Seed”) Initiative is a vehicle for the promotion of nutrition education and school food and nutrition gardens active in 67 schools across three Provinces: the Free State, Limpopo and the Western Cape. The Initiative seeks to make sure every school has a thriving school food and nutrition garden and that all learners in South Africa understand how to produce and consume nutritious food. To do this, the Initiative has created Forums – multistakeholder partnerships of government departments, private sector, academia and NGOs to increase and direct investment and resources towards more effective agriculture and nutrition education.
