,QUESTION 1: MINUTES OF A MEETING
BACKGROUND
The Minister of Basic Education has received concerns from some higher education institutions
that first-year students are generally not ready for higher education. For several years, the two
sectors of education have operated in silos. The Minister has decided to bring the different role
players together in the education sector to forge a collaborative strategy for supporting
learners’ transition from high school to university with ease.
. Plan Thing: 5.2 How to help students' change from secondary school to
college
Administrator: Pastor of Essential Training
The gathering started with the Pastor recognizing the presence of
delegates from understudy developments, instructor associations,
scholastics, and guardians. The conversation was driven by Dr Abrahams,
who shared research discoveries on understudy execution at tertiary level.
It was noticed that just 35% of understudies total their certifications inside
the standard time period, with a dropout pace of 41%. Most of dropouts
happen in the principal year.
Mrs Moloi communicated worries about the job of guardians in the
emergency, refering to the monetary venture made by guardians and
scrutinizing the requirement for guardians to become educators. The
Clergyman explained that all partners play a part to play in the school
system to guarantee the accomplishment of youngsters' objectives.
Companion Nobhala credited piece of the fault to the Division of Training,
bringing up the issue of unwanted educator student proportions and the
absence of individual consideration given to students. Dr Abrahams called
for quiet and underlined the requirement for aggregate liability. Guardians
were urged to rouse their youngsters to work freely, while educators were
encouraged to advance critical thinking abilities as opposed to just getting
ready for tests.
Friend Nobhala raised worries about the absence of vital devices, for
example, tablets and digital books, which could engage students to get
, ready for tertiary schooling. The Pastor informed the participants that the
tablets have proactively been given to most schools and the rollout is
continuous.
Dr Abrahams proposed school-based drives, for example, bootcamps,
where students can take part in friendly and scholastic exercises and
shape their thoughts autonomously. Companion Nobhala proposed
welcoming college understudies who are performing great to address
students at the bootcamps, sharing their encounters of college life and
showing them obligation and using time productively.
Mrs Moloi communicated the requirement for guardians to be remembered
for the cycle and taught on the most proficient method to help their kids in
changing in accordance with new circumstances. The Clergyman
consented to draw locally contact official to include guardians and give
fundamental direction
Ms Sithole highlighted the importance of universities intensifying their own
student support programs, including effective orientation activities, extra
classes, and tutoring sessions. Lecturers were encouraged to identify
students struggling academically and refer them to tutorial programs.
The Minister suggested that Comrade Nobhala advocate for the inclusion
of these suggestions in union meetings for teachers to go the extra mile in
exposing learners to the expectations of tertiary education. A memorandum
will also be written to relevant education authorities to encourage the
implementation of these practices in different provinces.
Mrs Moloi offered to extend awareness through the National Association of
School Governing Bodies (NASGB) to disseminate the ideas discussed to
learners and parents.
The Minister concluded the meeting by thanking the attendees for their
valuable contributions and announced a follow-up meeting in three months
to review progress. The meeting was adjourned.
