14 | CUT ANNUAL REPORT 2011 At CUT it is believed that the focus of the learning process should be on the student and their real needs which mean the consolidated use of distributed and e-learning material as well as the provision of training, exposure to the relevant techniques, and finally improved student support facilities. • All students were given access to eThuto (Blackboard), CUT’s online learning management system. • Lecture rooms were equipped with the most appropriate audiovisual aids depending on the programmes offered in the venue. 72% (Bloemfontein Campus) and 95% (Welkom Campus) of all lecture rooms have been equipped with data projectors. • An important benchmarking opportunity in 2011 saw two CUT staff members visit the United Arab Emirates under the auspices of the South African Technology Network (SATN). The trip provided participants with the opportunity to learn how the Higher Colleges of Technology use technology for teaching and learning. Ensuring a clear preference for SET, then Business, Commerce and Management (BCM) and the Humanities, in that order; The Minister’s headline enrolment target for CUT was 50% SET, 28% BCM, 14% Other Humanities and 8% Education, with 5% postgraduate enrolment; four research niche areas in SET to be enhanced or developed; establishment of a Faculty of Humanities to house Education and other humanities-related fields. • SET headcount enrolments were 43.6% - almost half the student body. Postgraduate student enrolments improved from 4% in 2010 to 6% in 2011. • Nevertheless, to improve on the low number of postgraduate enrolments, the implementation of a postgraduate development programme called SoAR, launched in 2010, continued in 2011. Increase in the number of SET-qualifying matriculants in the Free State (through a partnership with the Free State Department of Education) and feeder schools; funds set aside to support excellent Free State students in maths and science. • CUT, and the Free State Provincial Government, CUT has made remarkable progress in a number of projects to to increase the supply of SET-qualifying matriculants. • In 2011 Mutual and Federal became a funder of the Saturday School project by contributing R0.5 million. A 100% pass rate was achieved by learners enrolled in the Saturday School project, while 24 of those learners went on to enrol for engineering-related courses at CUT. Some of the others enrolled in medicine, law, engineering, and science courses at other institutions around the country.
CUT ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 15 • Through the Winter School more than 10 schools managed to improve their overall performance to above 80% on average in their Grade 12 results. More than 2 500 learners have enrolled in this programme, with more than 1 100 learners in Mathematics, Physical Science and Life Sciences. • At the end of 2011, the two projects (Saturday School Technology Project and Winter School Project) were combined to form the Schools Advancement Academy, so as to create synergy between them. • A new project, the Educator Mentorship Development Project (EMDP), was launched in 2011 and is financed by the Telkom Foundation to the amount of R4.5 million over a two-year period. The EMDP is a developmental project aimed at addressing the shortage of skills among teachers in the specific areas i.e. STEM, and the focus is on foundation stage education.
