Hendrik Verwoerd would have been proud of the new General Education and Training Certificate. It limits young, mainly black South Africans to either low-skilled jobs or unemployment.
Internationally jobs are ranked by skill levels on the International Standard Classification of Occupations scale. Skill level is defined as a function of the complexity and range of tasks and duties to be performed in an occupation.simple and routine physical or manual tasks;Moreover, it includes tasks such as cleaning; digging; lifting and carrying materials by hand; sorting, storing or assembling goods by hand ; operating non-motorised vehicles; and picking fruit and vegetables.
In addition, it is a sinister attempt by the ANC government to erase its high school dropout problem by issuing a new certificate at the grade 9 stage. South Africa loses half of every learner cohort that enters the school system by the end of the 12-year schooling period. Two out of 10 learners drop out of school after Grade 3, four out of 10 after Grade 9, six out of 10 after Grade 10 and 7.3 out of 10 after Grade 11.
Addressing the disproportionate power trade unions wield over teachers and the functioning of the education system. This dismal education is proving to be a force to reckon with for the population, this government and job markets. So OK…let’s blame him too!He was, yes. But the anc is perpetuating his ‘legacy’ by being hard-arced about what is required of and for quality education and not acknowledging that they have made zero progress over the last 30 years to address the situation.
The mother’s language, which the child picks up from before birth untill age 5, provides the foundation of all concepts and thinking skills for the rest of the child’s cognitive development.For that reason formal learning must complement the established concepts and ideas of the toddler and develop it untill the age of 26 when brain growth is completed.
To force a budding young ‘genius’, after the age of five years, to learn in a foreign language is wrong and extremely CRUEL!Imagine how frustrated and humiliated an African child must feel when he is forced to appear to be stupid because the regime decided to allow ‘English only’ education.
