IPPN Bursary 2007
Each year since 2004, IPPN has sponsored a Bursary Award. The purpose of these Awards is to enable Principals take time out from school to conduct research into an area of relevance to Principals generally and to report their findings. This research is used to inform IPPN policy development and strategy.
