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.
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. Your school food and nutrition garden is a living thing. And just like you and me, it needs to be nurtured for it to grow. It needs to be planned for.
