1. The Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute (CTLI) will be offering the courses, conferences, seminars listed in the attached Annexures A, B, C, D and E to principals, deputy principals, department heads and teachers, either during school terms or school holidays in 2013.

2. District officials must nominate teachers to attend CTLI training courses and the district director must sign the nominations before they are submitted to the CTLI. Teachers interested in attending these courses are strongly advised to register, via their education district officials. (See Annexure F for the contact details of district officials).

3. Registration for conferences and seminars must be done directly with the CTLI.

4. The Western Cape Education Department will employ substitute teachers in place of teachers attending CTLI courses during school terms, provided that

  • there is no teacher in excess at the school;
  • the substitute teacher is not a teacher paid by the governing body; and
  • the substitute teacher is not already substituting for another teacher.
5. It is the responsibility of the school to find and nominate a suitable substitute for a teacher attending a course.

6. Courses are repeated a number of times during the year to enable teachers to select courses offered at times when they can attend a full course.

7. Only 50 teachers can be registered for each course. These teachers will be drawn from all eight education districts. This means that only a limited number of teachers can attend a course at any given time.

8. Nominations from district offices for courses to be presented during the year must reach the CTLI by 16 November 2012. Each district office is requested to nominate a minimum of 8 teachers per course.

9. For further information, please do not hesitate to contact the following CTLI officials:
