Minister Motshekga conveys her appreciation to SANASE for prioritising Inclusive Education in South Africa

The DBE continues to make significant progress in terms of mobilising various education stakeholders in improving Inclusive Education in South Africa. Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga, congratulated the newly elected Chairperson of SANASE and commended the organisation for doing sterling work in addressing challenges relating to learning barriers across all nine provinces. Speaking during the SANASE Conference for Special Education held in Sun City in the North-West Province recently, Minister Motshekga said that the role of education managers had always been about laying a solid foundation for all South Africans to have access to basic education and training of the highest quality by 2030.

This occasion is central to the sector's work because it discusses inclusivity in basic education, which we know is linked to the universal right to education. The Minister further indicated that the basic education sector has made significant strides in its mission to build an inclusive education and training system. “I honestly, convey my appreciation for the support received by SANASE and its sister organisations to realise the right of everyone to equitable access to basic education. I thank you for focussing your energies on the most vulnerable learners, those with special education needs. The partnerships we share with various organisations are central to the success of our vision of ensuring that no child is left behind. Since the adoption of Education White Paper 6 in July 2001 on Inclusive Education, we have more than doubled the number of learners with special needs who have access to basic education. We call for out-of-school youth with special educational needs to re-join the basic education sector. Our call to bring everyone on board aligns with the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. These two policy initiatives provide a robust framework for ensuring inclusive growth and sustainable development as a precursor to inclusive economic growth. We must be intentional about providing equal opportunities for all,” explained Minister Motshekga.

The Minister emphasised that the DBE and the private sector should continue to cooperate to ensure that learners with special needs were fully supported. “Globally, more than a billion people live with some form of disability, of whom approximately 200 million experience some form of difficulty in functioning. In the same breath, although rigorous interventions nations embark on, people with disabilities, in particular, often have poorer access to health, education, and economic participation. They are also exposed to a higher degree of vulnerability to violence and a lack of opportunities than people without disabilities. These vulnerabilities, including sexual violence, are often more pronounced in developing contexts, such as ours, where socio-economic complexities remain a significant concern. The White Paper enjoined us to conduct a nationwide advocacy campaign to popularise the prescripts of the policy, which we have done well. Secondly, it directed us to mobilise out-of-school children and youth of school-going age to take up their right to basic education. The report, outlined at the 2021 National Inclusive Education Summit, revealed that 137,332 and 121,461 learners, compared to 64,000 and 77,000 in 2002, are enrolled in special and ordinary schools, respectively. Thus, we have a dedicated capacity in all nine Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) to manage Inclusive Education guided by Basic Education experts based in Pretoria. For instance, we have established District-Based Support Teams and School-Based Support Teams to coordinate inclusive education support services for teachers and learners. As a collective, these professionals advance the ideal of Inclusive Education, share best practices and craft and monitor implementation plans for the sector”.

Zimbabwe and South Africa strengthens ties in education

 

Zimbabwe and South Africa strengthens ties in education

Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshegka and Dr E Ndlovu, Minister of Primary and Secondary Education in Zimbabwe, have signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cement the bilateral relations in education. The Ambassador of Zimbabwe to South Africa His Excellency, Mr David Hamadziripi, also joined the MOU signing ceremony. The ceremony, which was chaired by the Deputy Minister of Basic Education, Dr Reginah Mhaule, took place at the DBE Offices on 18 August 2022. As part of the partnership, the Zimbabwean delegation and DBE senior officials entered into a robust discussion, in response to the valuable presentations made by key education stakeholders from both countries.

The Director-General for the Department of Basic Education, Mr Hubert Mathanzima Mweli, made his presentation on the South African Basic Education Sector at a glance. Mrs Olicah Kaira, Chief Director for Primary and Secondary Education presented on overview of the Zimbabwean Primary and Secondary Education System. In her presentation, Mrs Kaira, said that there were a lot of lessons that Zimbabwe could learn from South Africa. She stated that although South Africa has a vast education system as compared to Zimbabwe, it was still possible to share practices relating to the Foundation Phase up to the Further Education and Training (FET) phase. According to her, the visit made it possible for the Zimbabwean delegation to explore additional information on a number of strategies implemented by the basic education sector in South Africa.

“In Zimbabwe, the summative measurement of learning outcomes is conducted through public examinations at Grade 7, Ordinary Level and Advanced Level. The examinations encompass 30% of Continuous Assessment and 70% of a summative written examination for all candidates. The component of Continuous Assessment is in its second year running this year. It is a transformative assessment initiative by the Ministry to incorporate formative assessment into the overall Grade 7, Ordinary Level and Advanced Level learning outcomes. At the end of Grade 2, the Ministry carries out an internal assessment to rate the numeracy and literacy levels of the pupils before they proceed to Grade 3 and proffer educational interventions based on the findings and recommendations from the Annual Report,” Mrs Kaira highlighted and stated that COVID has compelled the Zimbabwean education system to introduce various intervention support initiatives to prevent further learning losses. “To mitigate challenges posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, our education sector adopted several strategies to ensure the continuity of learning. These include syllabus compression; blended teaching and learning; radio lessons, with offline access and hard copy resources for disadvantaged areas; e-learning platforms, including the Learning Passport; clinical and in-class remedial teaching; catch-up materials; and Open and Distance learning Modules.”

Director-General Mweli said that Zimbabwe and South Africa share common goals in several aspects of the education system, especially in areas of vocational education and training, as well as inclusive education. “I extend my gratitude to both ministers for the partnership; I am definitely sure that it will transform our education systems for the better,” he added. The Zimbabwean delegation showed key interest in replicating various education programmes implemented by South Africa. These include the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP), the Second Chance Matric Support Programme, the Read To Lead Campaign and participation in international studies such as the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), Trends In International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and the Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality(SACMEQ). Minister Ndlovu said that her Department will work with the DBE to establish a Science Centre such as Sci-Bono Discovery Centre and the South African Council for Educators in Zimbabwe. Both Ministers committed that the Directors-General of both countries will work together to implement the cooperation.
