The ECD centre visited was PAIDION Elementary School. The purpose of the visit was to engage directly with practitioners on the ground, observe the learning environment, and provide practical support as the centre advances through the Bana Pele registration journey. The visit created space for meaningful dialogue on operational readiness, child safety, infrastructure standards and administrative processes required for progression within the new registration framework. It also strengthened collaboration between provincial officials, social workers and environmental health practitioners to ensure coordinated support tailored to the centre’s needs. Beyond compliance, the engagement reaffirmed a shared commitment to quality early learning, sustainability and ensuring that centres are positioned to access the necessary recognition and support within the national ECD system. #BanaPele #ECDRegistration #QualityEarlyLearning #GovZAUpdates

Leaders at the Nelson Mandela Bay District Education Forum reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening Early Childhood Development through collaboration and integrated service delivery. Mr Monga Peter emphasized the importance of aligning education with public health, environmental health and community development to advance the Education Welfare Management Act, noting that holistic support is essential for improving outcomes for young children. Ms Ivy Rapoo reflected on the transition of the ECD function from Social Development to Basic Education, acknowledging the challenges faced and the progress achieved. She highlighted the development of the 2030 Strategy, informed by sector insights, and outlined the purpose of the Bana Pele Registration Campaign in strengthening compliance, improving standards and ensuring centres are formally recognised and supported through ongoing national outreach and guidance. Provincial ECD Director Ms Nozipho Chiliza shared the evolution of the registration process in the Eastern Cape, from a paper based system to an accessible online platform with phased compliance. She encouraged all non compliant centres to register and make use of the support available to become part of a regulated, quality assured system. Together, these efforts reflect a united commitment to building a safer, more inclusive and quality driven ECD sector. #BanaPele #ECDRegistration #QualityEarlyLearning #GovZAUpdates
