OVERVIEW<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme aims to address a shortage of skills in the current education system, namely the competencies of educators who carry the responsibility of teaching design but who have insufficient education and training in design, or design thinking.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u202f<\/span>The target audience of the programme is existing and future educators of design at FET level. The purpose of the qualification is to develop the knowledge-base and skill set specifically of educators who teach the subject of Design at Grades 10, 11 and 12.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme also serves to promote the subject of design in the South African basic education system. Design is frequently misunderstood by laypeople resulting in a failure to recognise its economic value and socio-political impact and influence.\u00a0 To recognise the value of design thinking skills in general education, as well as its application in the teaching of other subjects. The proposed programme supports this drive by demonstrating the value of design to broader\u202f<\/span>populations, and<\/span>\u202fupskilling those who teach it.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\nFEATURES AND BENEFITS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
