Partner(s):The Department of Education is SAIE’s partner that identifies schools and regions for BusinessVENTURES training. Mdantsane (Rubusana Hall) the venue for Umsobomvu’s Eastern Cape BusinessVENTURES educator training is situated in the Buffalo City municipality (Municipal code EC125). Buffalo City falls under the jurisdiction of Amatole District (District code DC12) whose service area encompasses East London and King Williams Town (The capital city of the Eastern Cape). Amatole administrative boundaries extend over a geographical area that is 23577km² big. Educators may however come from beyond these boundaries for BusinessVENTURES training. The district has a population of 1 664 412 with a majority of Xhosa speaking Africans who constitute 91.66%. In total, there are 92.5% Black Africans. Amatole has 1203719 learners from grade one to twelve. The economically active group (between 15 and 64) is around 996850 while the economically dependent group numbers 517937. The size of the population with no personal income is about 1254135 and those with an income below R400 are about 69798. A further 140185 people have no family income. Amatole has 2960 employers, and 281315 unemployed people. Our Involvement:SAIE provides schools and educators with quality, innovative learning materials (BusinessVENTURES kits) and the requisite training in terms of content knowledge, methodology in Outcomes Based Education (OBE) and entrepreneurial development. SAIE’s BusinessVENTURES materials conform to the Department of Education’s (DoE) curriculum structure classified under the Economic and Management Sciences (EMS: Grade 2 to 9) and Business Studies (Grades 10 to 12). Learners are empowered through the quality materials and effective teaching, in order to develop entrepreneurial mindsets and business knowledge. This prepares them for either creating their own jobs or participating in the post school life in a more entrepreneurial way. Project Progress:This training took place from 6th May 2008 to 4th June 2008. In this project, from the total of 105 educators who were trained, 16 Grade eight educators came from 20 schools; 15 Grade nine educators came from 20 schools; 6 Grade ten educators came from 20 schools and 68 Grade elecen educators came from 20 schools to receive Business VENTURES training. 105 kits were distributed for grades 8 to 11. |
