Themba the Edutrain Metrorail’s initiative in 1997 to create a classroom-on-wheels, has truly set the wheels in
motion to expose learners to places beyond their reach. Brightly coloured and well equipped with two classrooms, a staff
room, video machines, overhead projectors and microphones, the Edutrain travels between Cape Town, Newlands, Klapmuts, Simon’s Town and the Cape Winelands. |

The train collects learners at the station closest to
their school and takes them on an educational journey, visiting museums and
places of interest. A dedicated co-ordinator organises the trips,
while two qualified educators guide and assist learners throughout the
journey. The educators are seconded to the Edutrain
by the Western Cape Educational Department.
