  • However, teacher unions have warned that training on the use of the computers is imperative, while analysts emphasise that the education department must monitor benefits to the system or the money will be lost.
  • He said the department wants to give teachers the tools to develop and to make the revised outcomes-based education (OBE) system work. Many teachers have been inadequately trained under the OBE system and some do not understand the content they are expected to teach, resulting in learners performing poorly.
  • Patel said it could take 10 years to retrain teachers at great costs but, through the use of computers, ­training could be accelerated and materials could be made available. "They could have access to lesson plans, for example."

  • He said: "Every qualifying teacher (public paid and permanent) will be entitled to a computer on application...Investigations are under way around whether the computers will be an outright purchase, a monthly subsidy for a period of five years, or an allowance."
  • One model could entail teachers receiving R1 500 annually and choosing their laptops according to their needs, but there would be norms and standards. Depending on the package they choose, teachers might have to top up from their own funds.
  • He said the allowance or subsidy will cover internet usage through a data card or fixed line, while the marketplace has wind-up generators or solar-powered batteries to accommodate teachers in the rural areas.
  • No face-to-face training is envisaged, but the use of software to assist training is being investigated.
  • He said laptops alone will not turn the situation around. "There are other issues that also need to be dealt with, such as poor infrastructure, lack of textbooks and proper teacher training".

  • PeaceBuilders is an organization that provides training for teachers, parents and others involved in the lives and wellbeing of young children and teens. The training goes beyond the nurturing and disciplinary aspects usually associated with child care, and also strives for a peaceful environment more conducive to learning.
  • One of the steps teachers will implement as part of the PeaceBuilders program will be a campaign to give up "put-downs." Other time will include the PeaceBuilders pledge, "praise people" activities, and seeking wise people for input, making them the subjects in a PeaceBuilders Hall of Fame.
  • Teachers were also offered tips as "First Aid for Anger," strategies that work well in a school setting as well as the home, to help build a more positive life."It's a program that has many applications in life, regardless of age," Bustos said.
