Scilabs implements a well-structured long-term teacher professional development programme ideally suited to adequately cater for the critical professional development needs of teachers. Even experienced teachers can gain from constructive peer coaching and innovative mentorship programmes.

This complete package helps bring our two-pronged strategy to fruition.



Not intended as criticism to the tremendous efforts exerted by the Department of Education, there isn’t nearly enough resources to train teachers to use science educational tools and laboratory equipment, leading to a deficiency in practical skills and a lack of understanding in the science concepts they are supposed to teach. Hence, standards in science classrooms may fall because of the shortage of properly trained science educators.

Deficiencies in practical skills and conceptual understanding are passed on from teacher to learner who then becomes an educator – from one generation to the next. This cycle perpetuates incompetence and can lead to a deterioration of standards over time.

At Scilabs, We have the expertise to offer full service and support, to ensure our clients receive true value from their investment in our products.
