An update will be presented on a project to assess and enhance the teaching of the strand Planet Earth and Beyond, whose goal was to learn what is needed to help improve primary school learner performance and attrition in Natural Science and implement some possible solutions. A pilot program was initiated to assist teachers to teach the strand better and improve learner performance and attrition in Natural Science and an update following that effort will be presented..
