Our outing to The Centre for Conservation Education


The Centre for Conservation Education (CCE) teaches environmental education to Western Cape Education Department learners. The centre aims to serve 1,03 million learners and 31 500 teachers at 1 700 schools throughout the Western Cape.


The Centre for Conservation Education in Wynberg, Cape Town (which incorporates the Education Museum) was started in 1989. Under the auspices of the Western Cape Education Department, the Centre teaches environmental education to primary and secondary school groups. But the school, in whose building and spirit the Centre operates, is much older than that and is, in fact, the oldest existing school in Wynberg.
