Registration, venues and time frames
|
| 1.2 |
As stated in Curriculum Minute 0019/2007, where there are less than 12 teachers registered for a subject there will be no provincial-based workshop conducted for that particular subject, due to the excessive unit costs per teacher. The names of such teachers registered will be submitted to the relevant EMDCs for follow-up guidance and support.
|
| 1.3 |
Please find in Annexure A the subjects, venues, dates and times of the scheduled workshops. The workshops will be run in two sessions per day. The first session will be from 08:30 to 11:30. After a light lunch, the second session will be from 12:30 to 15:30.
|
| 1.4 |
Teachers who registered after Monday, 12 March 2007, can, regrettably, not be accommodated in the workshops for logistical reasons relating to the printing of materials, catering numbers and venue arrangements. Non or late-registered teachers who do attend must note that they will not be reimbursed for any personal expenses incurred.
|
| 2.1 |
Teachers requiring accommodation should book their own accommodation and may submit claims to a maximum of R 750 per day (all-inclusive - dinner, bed and breakfast).
|
| 2.2 |
Teachers who prefer private accommodation may claim a maximum of R 200 per day. In such cases, a receipt must be attached to the claim submitted.
|
| 2.3 |
The WCED will not reimburse any expenses derived from private telephone calls or alcoholic beverages.
