By now schools should have received Curriculum Minutes DCD/0004/2004 and DCD/0012/2004 regarding the PACE project for the training of 800 educators responsible for Life Orientation in the GET and FET Bands in high, intermediate and combined schools. |
| 2. |
This project is part of the overall plan of the Western Cape Education Department to prepare teachers and learners for the implementation of the FET: NCS in January 2006. |
| 3. |
Attached is the "World of Work" questionnaire which must be completed by all Grade 9 learners in schools. These learners must then insert the completed and analysed questionnaire in their Life Orientation portfolios as part of The World of Work section. |
| 4. |
The teachers trained during the PACE course have been skilled to manage this process and should take responsibility for administering the questionnaire. |
| 5. |
These teachers must help the Grade 9 learners to use the PACE CD-ROM and the file that were provided to all teachers at the workshops. The results of this exercise will afford learners the opportunity to investigate a full range of employment opportunities and will guide their subject selections for Grade 10. |
| 6. |
Principals must please notify the EMDC Chief Curriculum Adviser immediately if they did not register two teachers for training, or if their teachers have not received any training. |
| 7. |
Principals are requested to inform the PACE-trained teachers of the content of this minute. |
