Afternoon panel session: Paul Matthews
Paul Matthews is a Trustee of the
Billion Child Foundation which is working in Africa to ensure that millions of
children receive quality parenting and education with the ultimate goal of
providing them with a sustainable and resilient future. BCF conducts mass
training programmes that are action-oriented, hands-on, and practical to
provide skills and knowledge to parents, teachers, school management teams and
communities. BCF is different in that it works with the education system that
serves the children rather than directly with the children.
BCF programmes already commissioned in South Africa during 2014 will ensure 3,874,600 children attending currently under-performing schools receive a better quality education. This will increase to over 5 million children in 2015. BCF is now ready to expand its successful mass training programmes to other countries around Africa and the world.
