Dear Student
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a
transformation charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this charter,
we have also placed curriculum transformation high on the agenda. For your information,
curriculum transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred scholarship, the
pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of teaching and
learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These pillars and their
principles will be integrated at both the programme and module levels, as a phased-in
approach. You will notice the implementation thereof in your modules, and we encourage you
to fully embrace these
changes during your studies at Unisa.
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Welcome
Welcome to the module, South African Education System (SAE3701). We hope you will find
the content of the module both interesting and rewarding.
Although we are an ODeL institution, this does not mean that we regard you as a mere
computerised number. On the contrary, each one of you is an individual student with ideals,
dreams and expectations, and you are important to us. We understand the problems of
being a part-time student who has additional obligations besides your studies. We,
therefore, want to assist you academically, encourage you personally and minimise the
challenges you may face along the way.
Please also note that the key to success in an open distance e-learning (ODeL) environment
is to start studying early in the semester as a semester is short, working through your study
material as soon as possible and to commit to completing the assignments properly and on
time.
This tutorial letter (101) contains important information about the scheme of work and
assignments for this module. In addition, the assessment standards, instructions for the
completion and submission of assignments, the prescribed study material and all other
3
, resources also form part of this tutorial letter. We have also included general and administrative
information about this module. Read it carefully and keep it at hand when working through the
study material, doing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing queries
to your lecturers.
Once submissions of Assignments 02 and 03 have closed, you will receive Tutorial Letter 201
with revision information for all assignments and examination preparation. We repeat, you
should read all tutorial letters you receive in the course of the semester immediately and
carefully, as they always contain important and sometimes urgent information.
We hope you will enjoy this module and wish you the best of luck!
Your lecturer
Dr Thina Shembe
