BRIEF SUMMARY: | School communities are made aware of the aims of the Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign |
SUBJECT: | QUALITY LEARNING AND TEACHING CAMPAIGN |
| |
The Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign [QLTC] calls on all individuals and organizations to assume responsibility for improving the quality of education. The Western Cape Education Department fully embraces the campaign. The QLTC campaign intends to
- inform citizens about the importance of education, and their roles, responsibilities and obligations towards education;
- mobilize communities to monitor and support schools, teachers and learners; and
- improve the quality of education for all children, especially the poor, and to demonstrate this improved quality through learner achievement.
|
| |
The achievement of quality education for all depends on the actions of department officials, school principals, teachers, learners, parents and community members. Each of these are called upon to make a commitment to the Code for Quality Education, which describes the responsibilities and discipline required of them. The Code for Quality Education is attached. |
| |
This circular signifies the launch of the campaign in the Western Cape. The management and leadership structures of each school and district are requested to share this information with their school community and to support the Code for Quality Education in all our plans and actions. |
