It will wonderful if all Special School teachers can be trained as Assessors, and SMTs as Moderators, Inclusive Education Offials as Moderators and the co-ordinators as Verifiers (ETDP SETA) for them to be external Moderators and Verifiers. This will assist  these learners to leave schools with certificate that can be recognised. Some leave schools with good  practical training, but nobody will want to employ you if you have certificate written"Special School Education."

The Department of Education is currently developing Curriculum Guidelines for Learners who experience moderate intellectual barriers to learning. The Guidelines are intended to come up with proposals on how the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) can be modified to ensure that all learners can achieve outcomes that are accredited and can be certified. It will also give guidance about how skills and vocational content can be taught within the scope of the NCS. The Guidelines will be for use in special as well as in ordinary schools.

The guidelines! That is a good move,

 because:

"Curriculum often creates a barrier in learning, i.e. with regard to the use of formal, informal, and hidden curricula."

 

I trust that with the guidelines, the Department of Education would be giving possible answers/plans in ensuring that educators are well conversant/positioned with matters that relate to Inclusive Education when using National Curriculum Statement and Inclusive Strategies in the classrooms.

 

However, will enough training, continuos support and regular monitoring be given to the educators to avoid barriers to learning?
