NATIONAL EARLY LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR CHILDREN BIRTH TO 4 YEARS (NELDS)

Since 1994 Early Childhood Development has been identified as a critical area for the country's social and economic development. The Department of Education, Pretoria developed standards that can be used by people who want to provide children with the best possible start in life. There has been standards (a curriculum) from the reception year (the 'old' pre-primary) and upwards, but nothing for the younger child, until now.

Looking at these standards (called 'desired results'), it remin… Continue

SKILLS REBATE

I read an interesting article: COMPANIES NOT RECLAIMING SKILLS REBATE, Cape Argus of July 1, 2009
.
The purpose of the SDA is to create a formal framwork to educate and upgrade people's skills.

Companies can claim back a percentage of the money spent on training. I cannot understand why companies do not send their staff more on training. I am fortunate to be at an institution that believes in staff development and not once that when I've applied to be send on a course, denied my application. Th… Continue

Hi Wilma,

Thanks for your comment on my wall! Sorry for the late response.

I'm based in Johannesburg. I'm a registered facilitator and assessor with the HWSETA, for which i specialise in emotional and spiritual intelligence, risk behaviour prevention and stress management. I worked on a three year project with World Vision SA and USAID Pepfar, focussing on youth development and HIV/AIDS prevention.

I'm also registered with the ETDP SETA as an assessor and moderator. I'm also in the process of registering with the Service SETA.

My personal interests lie in making learning fun for youths, and i focus on programme/ material development for that in my spare time.

Thanks for your interest. I look forward to chatting more with you. I certainly would be interested in developing more in the area of ECD.

All the very best,

Julianne

Wel dis nou n klein wereld. Ek is so bly dat u ook op die site is. Wel I'm working for Ngo in Obs that is a service provider for the department of education. They focus on home base care and are broadening their knowledge concerning their career path. It is a four year course, since it is done part and the learners graduate with an NQF 4 level which is evelent to a matric. This is also opening other doors for them e.g the can become assistance in day hospitals and also assistance in pharamaucies.
