3.3.4.1 <strong>Education</strong> White Paper 6 on Inclusive <strong>Education</strong>, 2001<br />
The White Paper on Inclusive <strong>Education</strong> explains the intention <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> to implement inclusive education at all<br />
levels in the system by 2020. Such a system will allow for the inclusion <strong>of</strong> vulnerable learners and reduce the barriers to learning by<br />
means <strong>of</strong> targeted support structures and mechanisms. This, in turn, will improve the participation and retention levels <strong>of</strong> learners in<br />
the education system, particularly with regard to those learners who are prone to dropping out.<br />
3.3.4.2 The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) (Grades R- 12)<br />
This policy framework embodies the vision for general education to move away from a racist, apartheid, rote model <strong>of</strong> learning and<br />
teaching, to a liberating, nation-building and learner-centred outcomes-based initiative. In line with training strategies, the<br />
reformulation is intended to allow greater mobility between different levels and between institutional sites as well as to promote the<br />
integration <strong>of</strong> knowledge and skills through learning pathways. Its assessment, qualifications, competency and skills-based<br />
framework encourage the development <strong>of</strong> curriculum models that are aligned to the NQF in theory and practice.<br />
3.3.4.3 <strong>Education</strong> White Paper on Early Childhood Development, (2000)<br />
The White Paper provides for the expansion and full participation <strong>of</strong> 5-year olds in reception grade education by 2010, as well as for<br />
improvement in the quality <strong>of</strong> programmes, curricula and teacher development for 0 – 4 year olds, and 6 to 9 year olds.<br />
3.3.4.4 Transforming Public Service Delivery (Batho Pele) White Paper<br />
This policy document is based on eight transformation principles and service standards which guide the <strong>Department</strong> in becoming<br />
more effective in improving its service delivery. Due to the high levels <strong>of</strong> poverty in the Province Programmes in the <strong>Department</strong> are<br />
redirecting resources to previously under-resourced groups, defining service standards by using outputs, targets and performance<br />
indicators, human resource development and organisational capacity to support service delivery needs, seeking partnerships with<br />
the private sector, non-governmental organisations (NGO’s) and community based organisations (CBOS) and the development <strong>of</strong><br />
customer care that is sensitive to issues <strong>of</strong> race, gender and disability.<br />
