Question 1 [10 marks]
1.1 Incorrect. Children do hold human rights. The United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) recognizes the inherent rights of all
children, including the right to life, survival, and development, as well as the
right to education, health care, and protection from violence, abuse, and
exploitation.
1.2 Incorrect. According to the South African Schools Act (No. 84 of 1996), it is
compulsory for children to attend school from the age of seven until the age of
15 or the completion of Grade 9, whichever comes first. Therefore, completing
Grade 9 is compulsory under South African law.
1.3 Incorrect. The main aim of the SIAS (South African Integrated Schooling
System) policy is not only to build an inclusive education and training system
but also to address historical inequalities, promote social cohesion, and
improve the quality of education for all learners in South Africa.
, 1.4 Incorrect. Teacher counsellors should tailor their counselling approach to
meet the individual needs and challenges of each learner. Using the same
counselling approach for all learners may not effectively address their specific
issues or concerns.
1.5 Incorrect. Ubuntu is a traditional African philosophy that emphasizes the
interconnectedness of humanity and the importance of community,
cooperation, and compassion. It does not promote individualism or working
solely for oneself but rather encourages individuals to consider the well-being
of others and to contribute positively to their communities.
Question 2 [20 marks]
2.1 Teachers can ensure they practice the ethics of care in the classroom by:
a) Building positive relationships with students based on trust, respect, and
empathy.
b) Being attentive and responsive to students' emotional and academic needs.
c) Creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where all
students feel valued and included.
d) Providing individualized support and encouragement to students,
recognizing their unique strengths and challenges.
2.2 Informed consent refers to the permission given by an individual or their
legal guardian after being provided with all relevant information regarding a
particular decision or action. This concept is typically applied in medical or
research contexts, where individuals have the capacity to understand the
implications of their decision.
Informed assent, on the other hand, is similar to informed consent but applies
specifically to situations involving minors or individuals who may not have the
full capacity to understand the decision being made. Informed assent involves
providing information in a manner appropriate to the individual's age and
understanding and obtaining their agreement or willingness to participate in the
decision-making process, while still respecting their autonomy and rights.
2.3.1 Example of a dilemma a teacher may face:
Deciding whether to intervene in a student's personal situation that may be
affecting their academic performance, balancing the need to respect the
student's privacy with the duty to provide support and assistance.
2.3.2 Example of a dilemma of justice a teacher may face:
Allocating limited resources such as classroom materials or technology among
students, especially when there is unequal access or varying levels of need
among students.
2.4 Beneficence refers to the ethical principle of acting in a way that promotes
the well-being and interests of others. In essence, it involves doing good and
actively seeking to benefit others, whether it be through actions, decisions, or
interventions.
