The aim of the training is to empower district trainers with the skills to tackle the scourge of school drop puts in the province and country at large.
The training emphasises three pillars of the Early Warning System which encompass re-admission of school drop outs, retaining students already in the education system and addressing the factors that lead to high drop out rates.
The training will also explore ways of ensuring that schools provide a safe and protective environment for all learners.
