Schools Program
A special
basic accreditation course is conducted in schools. The reception to
this has been exceptionally strong because of the very meaningful
benefits to students, teachers and the schools themselves. Female
participation is particularly strong. Secondary schools are the main
target group, but a modified basic course conducted recently in a group
of primary schools was very popular and successful.
