Question 1
1. Read each of the following statements and argue why the statement is INCORRECT.
1.1. Children do not hold human rights.
Children, like adults, hold human rights. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC) recognizes the human rights of children, including the right to education, protection from
abuse, and the right to express their views. Therefore, children do hold human rights, and it is
essential to acknowledge and protect these rights.

children to complete Grade 9.
According to the South African Schools Act (No. 84 of 1996), it is compulsory for children to
complete Grade 9. The Act mandates compulsory attendance for children from the first school day in
their seventh year until the last school day in their 15th year or until they complete Grade 9,
whichever comes first.

1.3. The main aim of the SIAS policy is to build an inclusive education and training system.
The main aim of the SIAS (Screening, Identification, Assessment, and Support) policy is not solely
to build an inclusive education and training system. While inclusivity is a crucial component, the
primary aim of the SIAS policy is to provide standard procedures for supporting learners to ensure
that all children may access high-quality education and achieve to the best of their ability. This
involves screening, identifying barriers, assessing support needs, and providing and monitoring
support.

1.4. Teacher counsellors must use the same counselling approach for all learners regardless of
the nature of their challenges.
Teacher counsellors should not use the same counselling approach for all learners, as each learner's
challenges are unique. Effective counselling requires an individualized approach that considers the
specific nature of each learner's challenges, background, and emotional needs. Tailoring the
counselling approach to the individual is essential for providing meaningful support.
