Book 1 - Hola MaHigh-School - June 2022

Learners are also allowed a few days of rest, a week at least. A grade 12
learner must at this stage prioritize their studies and work towards their
final exams. Starting early eliminates undue stress and anxiety.
For teachers this time is also used to upskill, update, upgrade knowledge
skills and competencies in various areas of professional development.
Educational Conferences and information sessions are targeted at particularly
novice teachers and Lead Teachers or Subject Heads.
New ideas and changes in the education system is mediated during the
June holidays for at least a week or two e.g. Entrepreneurship in education
(E³) or GEC (General Education Certificate) and options at the end of
Grade 9 - The 3 Streams Model.
Learners, Teachers and Officials are also encouraged to take that much
needed mid-year break and come back refreshed to tackle the last
stretch of the year for the Gr12 learners.
