Gemeenskapleiers en die belangrikste – ons leerders<\/span><\/p>\n

Ons is aan die begin van die 2023 akademiese jaar. Dit is vir my ‘n groot voorreg om hier met julle te wees. Ek hoop julle het ‘n lieflike Desember vakansie gehad. Weet net – ons is nou terug en moet gereed wees om hard te werk. <\/span><\/p>\n

The strategic focus by the Department of Education is on Building the<\/span><\/p>\n

Elements of, Capacity for and Momentum Towards a Modern, Growing<\/span><\/p>\n

and Successful Education System in the Northern Cape, and it offers the<\/span><\/p>\n

Province a unique set of strategic opportunities to redesign, re-align,<\/span><\/p>\n

reposition and project the Department’s joint capabilities in new ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

This strategic focus not only, simply seeks to ensure greater administrative<\/span><\/p>\n

efficiency or bureaucratic streamlining, but further seeks to drive the<\/span><\/p>\n

schooling, curriculum, knowledge and skills development imperative more<\/span><\/p>\n

decisively, more effectively and with greater transformational impact in<\/span><\/p>\n

society.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20230217<\/p>\n

Hier in die Noord Kaap beskou ons al ons skole as sentrums van uitnemendheid. Ons moet hoë standaarde vir onsself stel, gedissiplineerd wees en respek hê vir mekaar. Ons ouers moet ook by die huis saamspan om te verseker dat ons met die regte gesindheid ons onderrig benader. <\/span><\/p>\n

If children and youth are our future, then education is the key to unlock<\/span><\/p>\n

that future. Without education, the future of any nation, community and<\/span><\/p>\n

person is likely to be bleak and uncertain. Education is the bridge that<\/span><\/p>\n

connects each person with their aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ANC – LED Government has taken a decision to prioritize Education<\/span><\/p>\n

and make it a societal issue. This decision must be understood clearly and<\/span><\/p>\n

embraced by all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20230217<\/p>\n

AAN ONS LEERDERS<\/span><\/p>\n

Dit beteken dat ons elke dag betyds by die skool moet wees en ons tuiswerk doelgerig en elke dag doen. Dit beteken ook dat ons almal die skool reëls moet gehoorsaam. Ons moet mekaar en die onderwysers respekteer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Daar is soveel geweld daarbuite. Geweld, mekaar seermaak en baklei hoort glad nie in ‘n skool nie. Ons moet weet die oomblik wat ons hier instap, dat ons in ‘n area is waar ons geslyp word vir die toekoms. Dit beteken ons moet, in alles, die nodige respek betoon aan die plek waar ons aan ons toekoms werk. <\/span><\/p>\n

AAN ONS ONDERWYSERS<\/span><\/p>\n

Ons verwag van julle groter verantwoordbaarheid vir die kwaliteit van die werk wat julle lewer. Dit beteken ook dat julle betyds by die skool moet wees. Dit beteken, as opvoeders van ‘n gemeenskap, dat julle ook daarbuite julle so sal handhaaf dat die skool en gemeenskap trots op julle kan wees. <\/span><\/p>\n

AAN DIE SKOOLBESTUURSPAN <\/span><\/p>\n

Ons verwag dat julle energie gaan insit om ‘n hegte span te bou en te verseker dat opvoeders hule beste lewer en dat hulle ook die nodige ondersteuning het. Hierdie span moet verseker dat die skool se resultate orreenstem met die prioriteite wat gestel is en ook monitor hoe die kurrikulum implementeer word. <\/span><\/p>\n

AAN DIE SKOOLBEHEERLIGGAAM <\/span><\/p>\n

Stabiliteit in ons skole is baie belangrik. Ons het mans en vrouens in ons SGBs nodig wat openlik en eerlik tot die voordeel van kinders in ons gemeenskap werk. Die SGB moet ook ‘n belangrike rol speel om te sorg dat ons skole veilig is. <\/span><\/p>\n

SCHOOL SAFETY<\/span><\/p>\n

Our schools continue to suffer at the hands of criminals. Incidents of<\/span><\/p>\n

vandalism and theft are on an increase and this compromises the quality of<\/span><\/p>\n

education. The current situation in our schools has reached unacceptable<\/span><\/p>\n

levels and requires our collective responsibility to create a conducive<\/span><\/p>\n

environment for quality public education.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the responsibility of the school Principal, School Management Team,<\/span><\/p>\n

Educators, School Governing Body, Quality Learning and Teaching<\/span><\/p>\n

Campaign (QLTC) Committees, Parents and Learners to cooperate and<\/span><\/p>\n

work with us in this regard.<\/span><\/p>\n

We should always be mindful of the fact that education is a constitutional<\/span><\/p>\n

right for everyone and at no stage will we tolerate the victimization of one<\/span><\/p>\n

learner by another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learners who are found in breach of the code of conduct will be subjected<\/span><\/p>\n

to a disciplinary process and expelled, if necessary. Incidents relating to<\/span><\/p>\n

violence have a negative impact on the quality of education and must be<\/span><\/p>\n

avoided at all costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maar in dieselfde asem moet ek ook aan opvoeders noem dat ons streng gaan wees met die wat die profesionaliteit van die beroep minag. Ons het geen geduld vir enige vorm van diskriminasie in ons skole nie, nie tussen leerders of van die kant van opvoeders nie. The Department of Education,<\/span><\/p>\n

has taken a zero-tolerance stance on the matter. We commend all educators who continue to give their utmost best to bring out excellence in our learners, sometimes under difficult circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teachers have the important role of shaping lives and nurturing the next<\/span><\/p>\n

generation of productive members of our society; Teachers are in the<\/span><\/p>\n

forefront of transforming lives and of building our nation. Teachers have<\/span><\/p>\n

the difficult role of inspiring the young people and should always strive for<\/span><\/p>\n

them to be a better person tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

We need to remember learners look up to Teachers as their role models,<\/span><\/p>\n

and in some sense Teachers act as surrogate mothers and fathers in their<\/span><\/p>\n

lives, so, Teachers we need to treat the learners as you would your own<\/span><\/p>\n

children. We value and appreciate the role of Educators in the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten slotte wil ek net sê dat dit nie goed genoeg is om net te slaag nie. Jy moet goed slaag om sodoende jou kanse op verdere opleiding te verbeter. Ons moet ook besef dat ons, met vasbyt en doelgerigtheid, baie goed kan doen ten spyte van huislike omstandighede. <\/span><\/p>\n

We wish all educators and learners well with the 2023 school academic as<\/span><\/p>\n

we will raise the bar of Education in the Northern Cape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ek dank u<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
