The University of Namibia (UNAM) launched the Perivoli Schools Trust Early Child Care, or PST Education Model, programme in collaboration with the University of Bristol in the UK.

The PST aims to improve early childhood education by training teachers to use play-based learning with low-cost and recycled materials.

The Perivoli Schools Trust Early Child Care and Education Model is a teacher training programme that supports educators who work with children from zero to six years old in nursery settings.

The initiative focuses on play-based learning using recycled and locally sourced materials.

The programme is to give comprehensive educare training.

James Alexandroff founded PST and shared how the programme has grown, adding that, "For the past 13 years, this programme now has covered over 8,000 nursery school teachers and probably a population of 12,000 in the country. So it's all 14 districts, and I think it's made quite a significant impact, and I should also say that it's in other countries now; in total, 30,000 nursery school teachers and six countries—it's expanding very rapidly. I'm happy to tell you this: the foundation is funded by me or my family office."

The initiative is to improve teaching practices, empowering them through reusing materials such as cartons and bottle tops, focusing on skills development.

This training is provided for free by the Perivoli local trainers deployed to the regions.
The Perivoli Schools Trust has thus far trained 5,032 teachers across all the 14 regions.

The initiative is so far operating in six countries, including Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Uganda.

The University of Namibia and the University of Bristol carried out research on the Perivoli Schools Trust Early Childhood and found it suitable for early childhood teaching.
