The Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS) for school-based educators is currently being implemented. By now a Staff Development Team (SDT) should have been set up at all learning sites. |
| 2. |
At this point, all educators should be in possession of their own copy of the support material, which was emailed to schools. Principals, with the assistance of the newly formed SDT, should ensure that educators have signed an educator list for the receipt of the support material as well as confirming that they have attended an IQMS training session. This is an important administrative task that is governed by resolution 8 of 2003 ensuring that each educator has a copy of the support material as well as ensuring that they have attended a training session on the IQMS. |
| 3. |
The (EFT) electronic fund transfers are currently being processed and a large number of schools have received their payments. Principals are once again reminded that the primary purpose of the EFT is to cover printing and modest catering costs. Principals wishing to enquire regarding the EFT for the IQMS training may contact their local EMDC administration department to check on the BAS (Basic Accounting System) |
| 4. |
Principals and SDTs should forward the details of educators who could not attend IQMS training sessions - via their Circuit Manager - to the IQMS co-ordinator at the EMDC. The Directorate, Human Resource Development will be offering an IQMS training session for these educators. After these sessions have been concluded, educators who missed out on the final IQMS training MUST be trained by their SDT as set out in Resolution 8 of 2003. |

Attached to this minute:

A checklist to be completed by the principal and the SDT indicating the level of progress made regarding implementation. This checklist should be faxed or emailed to your Circuit Manager on or before 19 November 2004. |

Please bring the contents of this minute to the attention of all concerned.
