Between 2009 – 2012 PMET hosted school management teams and since 2013 PMET hosts provincial and district officials.The WCED has been our host partner since 2013. In 2015 PMET will host 8 school districts, 7 from former homeland areas which are amongst the most disadvantaged of SA’s 82 school districts, as summarised in the table below.

PMET is currently directly supporting 20 schools per district in cycles of between 3 and 5 years. Through the leadership exchange seminar, PMET aims to enable provincial and district leadership officials to begin to encourage their district officials to share the strategies and best practices implemented in the 20 schools in each district with all of their other schools. After the seminar the PMET provincial staff, works closely with district officials to administer baseline diagnostic and needs assessments in order to identify their specific support needs. Then, together with the schools, a 3-year school support programme is developed and implemented to effect change as a model for the rest of the district to adopt and implement in all of its schools.
