28 Additional Tutors employed to Buffer COVID-19 Learning Loss

We recently employed 28 additional tutors to assist our students in both our Junior and High School with remedial teaching until the end of 2021. Given the many disruptions to the academic calendar because of COVID-19, the goal is to make up for the learning loss that took place and to focus specifically on subjects that require additional attention like Mathematics and Science.

“Younger children have suffered the most significant learning loss during 2020 due to the pandemic. We are grateful for the opportunity to accelerate learning through our high dosage tutor program. We have a highly motivated team of qualified tutors to work with small groups of learners daily and our tutors are following the Gap Curriculum programme, created by our teachers at the end of last year,” says Carol Kriel, Junior School Principal at Christel House SA.
