Yizifiso nje lezo.
Lena yindlela elumelayo alibona ngayo amalungu ekomiti elibhekele ezemfundo noMnyango wezeMfundo uhlelo lokwenza ngcono imiphumela engagculisi kamatric yangonyaka odlule.
Uhlelo lwethulwe nguDkt Enoch Nzama, iphini lomqondisi-jikelele obhekelele ukuhlelwa kwezemfundo, elubhekise ekomitini lezemfundo esifundazweni nasemalungwini oMnyango weMfundo eyisiSekelo eThekwini ngoLwesihlanu.
Lamakomiti womabili aqede isonto lonke evakashela izikole ezehlukene esifundazweni. Ukuvakashela kwawo bekubangwa wukuthi iKwaZulu-Natal ishaye udaka emiphumeleni kamatric ukwedlula ezinye izifundazwe iminyaka ilandelana.
IKwaZulu-Natal, enabafundi abaningi, yehle kakhulu ngokwezibalo njengoba ithole u-60% kamatric okuchaza ukuthi yehle ngo-8% uma kuqhathaniswa neminye iminyaka. Ngokujwayelekile isibalo sokuphasa kamatric bekuba u-75.8% kuya ku-70%.
UNgqongqoshe weMfundo eyisiSekelo, uNkk Angie Motshekga, uchaze imiphumela yaseKZN, Limpopo ne-Eastern Cape yangonyaka odlule njengeshwa.
Kulo mhlangano bekukhulunywa ngezinhlelo okuhloswe ngazo ukulungisa izinkinga kodwa amalungu ekomiti athi uhlelo aluthi shu.
Kuvele ukuthi inkinga enkulu kuba yindaba yolimi olusetshenziswayo njengoba abanye abafundi behluleka ukuluqondisisa kahle ikakhulukazi uma sekubhalwa imisebenzi yesikole noma sekubhalwa izivivinyo.
Okunye okuhloswe ngakho ukwenza ngcono isimo, wukuthunyelwa ngesikhathi kwezincwadi zokufunda ezikoleni, ukwandiswa kwamakilasi aqhubeka uma kuvalwe izikole ngokuthi kuhlolwe izinga labafundi, kuthuthukiswe nothisha, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uhlelo lokufundisa luhamba ngendlela nanokuthi kushaya u-Agasti seluqediwe ukuze kube nesikhathi esanele sokuthi kubuyekezwe konke obekufundwa unyaka wonke. Lolu hlelo luphinde lusabise bonke othisha abehlulekayo ukwenza umsebenzi wabo ngendlela.
Luveza nokuthi kuzoba amathimba aqhamuka esifundazweni azohambela izikole eqinisekisa ukuthi kuyafundwa ezikoleni nanokuthi asikho isikole esingenabo othisha.
Kodwa amalungu ekomitin athe uhlelo lundlaleke kakhulu futhi kunzima ukwenza okuqukethwe yilona, ngakho kuyazifanela nje nokuthi akwenzekanga lutho.
Elinye ilungu lekomiti, lithe: “Lolu hlelo ludinga ukuthi lube nezinto eziwu-10 eziseqhulwini ukuze uMnyango weMfundo ugxile kulo. Ziphi izinhlelo eziwu-10 zoMnyango weMfundo? Lolu hlelo lungagcina lungathi shu nje.’’
ULinda Hlongwa, uSihlalo wekomiti lesifundazwe, uphakamise ukuthi kumele kulethwe abanolwazi ukuze bagqugquzele abafundi. “Lolu hlelo luyinhlakanhlaka, yingakho ngibuza ukuthi kungani singekho isabelo-mali salo.’’
