Endorsed through internal moderation by JET Education Services.
JET Education Services is one of South Africa’s most respected education research and monitoring organisations, and a member of the UNESCO UNEVOC Network.
Following internal moderation of the kolab. pilot programme, JET endorsed kolab. as an effective professional development tool for Foundation Phase teachers. The endorsement comes from an organisation that has spent decades measuring what works in South African classrooms, and it concluded that kolab. does.

In teachers’ words
“kolab. is making teaching and learning accessible to all. It takes the guessing out of lesson planning and makes life so much easier.”

“The kolab. 'extras' are a brilliant resource for all teachers at all levels. Not only applicable for Foundation Phase English or Maths, the modules offer all sorts of tips for teachers that cannot be learned at college. Made by teachers for all teachers.”

“This app has helped me plan interactive lessons at the click of a button. It saves planning time and significantly reduces unnecessary time wasting.”
