In 2009, as a follow up to the placement of student teachers from UKZN in rural schools in the Vulindlela district for their four week practicum in 2007 and 2008, we worked with the teachers and principals of two secondary schools, and 23 student teachers. From 20 July to 14 August the student teachers, along with three interns attached to the project, a visiting McGill faculty member and various members of the UKZN staff stayed at Calderwood Lodge and worked in the schools. The RTEP was funded through the NRF Research Niche Area: Every Voice Counts, along with support from Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada as well as Toyota.
