|---|---|
Partner(s):The Department of Education (DoE) is SAIE’s partner that identifies the target schools and regions for BusinessVENTURES training and teaching materials. Training for this project will take place in Secunda within the Govan Mbeki Local Municipality of Mpumalanga. Educators may however come from further regions to attend the BusinessVENTURES training. Secunda is a town built around coalfields in the province ofMpumalanga, South Africa. It was named for being the second extraction refinery producing oil from coal after Sasolburg, a nearby town. The town of Secunda was built when the construction of Sasol Two commenced. Sasol Two (1980) and Sasol Three (1982), known as Secunda CTL, produces synthetic fuel, diesel, and related fuels and petrochemicals from coal gasification. Sasol Two and Three are large industrial refineries, within view, and sometimes earshot, of the town of Secunda. The town has an approximate 90,000 inhabitants, with an estimated 350,000 people living in nearby location, named eMbalenhle - meaning "pretty flower". The town has experienced significant growth in the past few years due to the expansions underway at the Sasol complexes. For more information please visit: http://www.govanmbeki.gov.za/home.htm Our Involvement:SAIE provides schools and educators with quality, innovative learning materials (BusinessVENTURES kits) and the requisite training in terms of content knowledge and methodology in Outcomes Based Education (OBE) and entrepreneurial development. SAIE’s BusinessVENTURES materials conform to the DoE's curriculum structure classified under the Economic and Management Sciences (EMS: Grade 2 to 9) and Business Studies (Grades 10 to 12) Learning Areas. Learners are empowered through the quality materials and effective teaching, in order to develop entrepreneurial behaviour and resourcefulness 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:Funding for this project has recently been approved and training is scheduled to begin in February 2010. |
