"All South Africans must now unite and join hands and say we are one country, one nation, one people, marching together into the future" Nelson MandelaHuman resource development is a high priority if South Africa is to improve teaching and education management to meet present and future needs. Many teachers have only limited training and most principals and senior staff have received no specific preparation for their management roles. This series, Managing Schools in South Africa, seeks to fill that gap. It aims to develop material directly relevant to school management. It integrates the best of theory, research and practice drawn from the most appropriate international sources which is directly applicable to a wide range of South African schoolsThe introduction of Curriculum 2005 and Outcomes Based Education in South Africa marks both a sea change in the way education is offered in schools, and a challenge to all involved. This book considers the main issues in curriculum management as education switches to a more devolved framework. Key concepts and principles are analyzed which can then be applied to specific contexts. Case examples are given, illustrating how individual schools are managing aspects of the curriculum. Practical activities encourage reflection and opportunities for personal development and action.
