E204 Gender stereotypes & educational outcomes 52:21

52:21

Guests: Likho Bottoman and Hanne Huysmans Introductory audio from VVOB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gspYn9fUrY&t=10s Gender stereotypes and experiences have an influence on educational outcomes. Gender conformity is affirmed when it is aligned to prominent gender experiences, whilst those who identify differently are made to feel like outcasts. There is a need for more inclusion and affirmation of different gender identities and experiences. Likho Bottoman's journal article: https://journals.co.za/doi/abs/10.10520/ejc-jeds_v2021_nsi1_a9 Recommended book: https://www.takealot.com/the-pink-line/PLID32874721?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhqaVBhCxARIsAHK1tiPPqzQbDPqFGZcT4b-0B1RccLJ5KiHpFHgyr8qDf1gTNFNbNAplyHoaAr1MEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/education-matters9/message…

E202 Parents, Community & Schools 44:23

3 years temu44:23

44:23

Guests: Dr Sindiwe Magona, Rahima Essop and Yandiswa Xhakaza Based on the backdrop of Dr Magona’s latest book, this episode reflects on the role communities play in ‘building’ schools and how community members become part of the school ecosystem. The Department of Basic Education through legislation is required to establish School Governing Bodies (SGBs). In essence, the SGB is a statutory body of parents, educators, non-teaching staff and learners (from Grade 8 or higher) who seek to work together to promote the well-being and effectiveness of the school community and thereby enhance learning and teaching. However, the ZeroDropOut campaign through its Yethu Network is strengthening relationships with communities.

E106: ECD Landscape & Innovation 48:23

4 years temu48:23

48:23

Guest: Grace Matlhape The high unemployment rate in South Africa is a reflection of idle assets - young people with ambition and potential. There are barriers that limit access to even training young people (#feesmustfall), however SmartStart is a social enterprise that recognises this challenge as an opportunity to address the needs in the early learning. SmartStart enjoys partnerships that unlock opportunities for children and parents who work in the sector. In addition, Grace and Rebecca Hickman wrote an article about gender disparities affecting women - in a country where 38%-45% of households are headed by women. The gender disparities affect women even at an entry level, meaning women are often excluded from entering the labour market due to challenges in accessing childcare. Article can be accessed here: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-08-27-equality-for-women-in-the-labour-market-relies-on-access-to-childcare/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/education-matters9/message…

E105: ECD Policy Implications 25:42

25:42

Guest: Professor Eric Atmore Produced by : Tshidi Lengoasa Children raised in deprived or improvised conditions were services are limited experience compromised opportunities towards a good standard of adult life. Through early childhood development interventions, laying the foundation for all future health, behaviour, and learning is ignited. Early Child Development (ECD) works in dual system where the provision of ECD takes different forms depending on the geographical area and earnings. There is a formal system and an informal system. Both systems are necessary, however the other enjoys more benefits than the other. In the townships, mothers dropped off their children with a caretaker, normally a mature older women and grannies. In rural communities, children participated in domestic activities. In urban areas, formal learning was happening at day care centres. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/education-matters9/message…

Guest: Senzo Hlophe Researchers worldwide agree that children need six to eight years of learning a second language before they can use it effectively as a medium of instruction.

E102: Ways of living with languages 58:04

4 years temu58:04

58:04

Guest: Siwaphiwe Sibeko People have migrated and so do languages. Through migration, languages have owned their different dialects, American English and British English are simple global examples of this differentiation. South Africa is no different, from tradition dialects that have been grouped according Nguni and Sotho, leaving those other beautiful languages that do not fit in the box, such as TshiVenda. What about Sepitori which represents a Sekgatla dialect of Setswana spoken in Hammanskraal (a region north of Pretoria), with additions mainly from Northern Sotho (also known as Sepedi), Afrikaans and English. What about the identity of Afrikaans spoken in the Cape Flats? Remember the confusion during Former President Nelson Mandela’s funeral, where grouping and dialects of the Xhosa people came into question as ambiguous identities, so AbaThembu are of Xhosa people or not. Languages have a classification character, a history and position in identity. Language often determines “the ways of living.” To help us unpack the ways in which we live with our languages, #SiwaphiweSibeko joins us.

E101: History of languages and learning in South Africa 1:00:55

5 years temu1:00:55

1:00:55

Guest: Nompumelelo Mohohlwane Understanding the power of languages is important, especially in a multilingual and unequal society such as South Africa. There are complex dimensions to be considered because language-in-education policy has a powerful influence on social and economic relations. There are practical considerations around how best to use language to achieve better educational outcomes, and consequently better economic outcomes, especially if guided by sound policies. The development of Afrikaans and neglect of African languages provides historical lessons of how languages have implications on identity and power. This conversation considers why the language policy dilemma persists through the discussion of economic returns to language and if there is opportunity for African languages to yield better educational and economic returns. Reference: https://resep.sun.ac.za/mother-tongue-instruction-or-straight-for-english-the-primary-education-policy-dilemma/ Nompumelelo tweets as @Mpumi_NLM. On other social media platforms she lives by her name. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/education-matters9/message…
