|---|---|
Partner(s):Tongaat is a sugarcane growing town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa situated on the banks of the Tongati River about 37km north of Durban and 28km south of Stanger. The town was established in 1945 and its name derives from the river's name, Tongati, which is the Zulu word for the Strychnos mackenii trees that flourish on its banks. Tongaat now forms part of eThekwini, the Greater Durban metropolitan area. eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality is the Metropolitan Municipality created in 2000 that includes the city of Durban, South Africa and surrounding towns. eThekwini is one of the 11 districts of KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. The majority of its 3,090,126 people speak Zulu 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:On the 13 of August 2007, eight grade 10 educators from eight schools attended the training at Tongaat secondary school and eight kits were distributed. Most educators agreed that the work cards were more relevant for the curriculum, interactive, precise and fun. Training for grades 8 and 9 took place on 2 and 3 August again at Tongaart Secondary School. On 2 August, ten educators from 9 schools attended training and twelve kits were distributed. On the 3rd of August, 13 educators from 9 schools attended training. Educators expressed the view that cards were fun and more easily understood in context than textbooks. |
