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
Welcome to the module, People-centred schools. We hope that your study of this interesting
module will be useful and inspiring. The module explores the changing nature of schools and
the people in them. This tutorial letter introduces you to the module and provides details of
your assignments.
We will do our best to make your study of this module successful. You will be well on your
way to success if you start studying early in the year and resolve to do the assignments
properly.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment. This tutorial letter
contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and assignments for
this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through
the study material, preparing the assignment(s), preparing for the examination and
addressing questions to your lecturer.
Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with this tutorial letter as it gives you an idea
of generally important information when studying at a distance and within a particular
College.
In this Tutorial Letter (101), you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as
instructions on the preparation and submission of the assignments. It also provides all the
information you need with regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and
how to obtain them. Please study this information carefully and make sure that you obtain
the prescribed material as soon as possible.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must not only read, but study all
the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they
always contain important and, sometimes, urgent information.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
