We refer you to the Curriculum FET Minute: DCF 0009/2009, dated 6 April 2009, in which you were informed that "… due to the lateness of the completion of the new NCS-aligned HIV/AIDS TLSM by the national Department and the subsequent translation of this material into all official languages of the province, the HIV/AIDS TLSM will again be delivered late to schools this year. This is deeply regretted. Delivery was expected to take place from May to July 2009." |
2. |
Unfortunately, further delays in the delivery of the above-mentioned material to schools are expected. The exact delivery dates cannot be determined as yet, but schools will be informed timeously of coming delivery of the material. |
3. |
Life Orientation teachers affected by these delays are requested to adjust their schedules accordingly. |
4. |
Schools still carrying stock from the previous year are requested to donate their surplus material to schools experiencing a shortage. Kindly contact the HIV/AIDS co-ordinator at your district office if assistance is required with this. |
5. |
Please note that HIV/AIDS TLSM is additional material. There is no cost to schools. Teachers are encouraged to adapt this material to suit their learners' needs. |
6. |
Principals are requested to bring the contents of this minute to the attention of Life Orientation teachers and school HIV/AIDS co-ordinators. |
