World BEYOND War Umqondisi Wezemfundo uPhill Gittins ufake isandla ekwakhiweni kwe umbiko omusha nguCaroline Brooks noBasma Hajir ebizwa ngokuthi “Imfundo yokuthula ezikoleni ezisemthethweni: Kungani ibalulekile futhi ingenziwa kanjani?”
Lo mbiko uhlola ukuthi imfundo yokuthula ezikoleni ibukeka kanjani, umthelela wayo ongaba khona kanye nokuthi ingafezeka kanjani ngokwenza.
Ucwaningo lwaluhilela ukubuyekezwa kwezincwadi ezihlola inhloso, ithiyori kanye nokwenza kwemfundo yokuthula, okuhlanganisa nezifundo zezenzakalo zezinhlelo zemfundo yokuthula ezilethwe ezikoleni ezisemthethweni ngaphakathi kwezimo ezihlukahlukene ezithinteke ukungqubuzana. Izinkinga ezibalulekile kanye nemibuzo evela ekubuyekezweni kwabe sekuphenywa ngezingxoxo nezifundiswa nabasebenzi abahamba phambili bezemfundo yokuthula.
Lo mbiko uthi kunecala eliqinile lokuqhubekisela phambili ukuqonda nokusebenza kwemfundo yokuthula ezikoleni ezisemthethweni nokuthi izikole zingabamba iqhaza elibalulekile ekuqhubekiseleni phambili izinhloso zokuthula. Phela, izikole ezisemthethweni azinikezi nje kuphela ulwazi namakhono, kodwa zibuye zilolonge izindinganiso zezenhlalo namasiko, izinkambiso, izimo zengqondo kanye nezimo.
Ukungenelela kokufundisa ngokuthula ezikoleni kufakazelwe ukuthi kuholela ekuthuthukisweni kwezimo zengqondo nokubambisana phakathi kwabafundi, nokuncipha kodlame kanye namazinga ayeka ukufunda. Kodwa-ke, ukufundisa ukuthula okujwayelekile akuqondile. Isikhala semfundo yokuthula sidinga ukutholakala ngaphakathi kwezinhlelo ezikhona, lapho kungenziwa khona umsebenzi ohambisanayo.
Ukuqhubekisela phambili imfundo yokuthula ngaphakathi komongo wesikole osemthethweni kudinga indlela nenqubo enezici eziningi. Asikho isixazululo esilingana konke, kodwa kunezimiso nezindlela ezibalulekile ezibalulekile:
- ukugqugquzela ubudlelwano obunempilo kanye nesiko lesikole elinokuthula;
- ukubhekana nodlame lwesakhiwo namasiko phakathi kwezikole;
- kucatshangelwa indlela imfundo enikezwa ngayo ekilasini;
- ukuxhuma izindlela zemfundo yokuthula ezigxile kumuntu ngamunye kanye nemiphumela ebanzi yezenhlalo nezombusazwe;
- ukuxhumanisa imfundo yokuthula phakathi kwezikole nemikhuba ebanzi yomphakathi kanye nabadlali abangahlelekile, njengezinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi; futhi
- lapho kungenzeka khona ukuba nezinqubomgomo zemfundo kanye nemithetho esekela imfundo yokuthula ukuze kuzuzwe ukuhlanganiswa okuphelele nezilungiselelo zesikole ezisemthethweni.
