Mid-high school certificate is a game changer for South Africa

a new certificate for school leavers at Grade 9, which is the second year of high school. It’s aimed at giving them some indication of competence in the job market. Currently, the only school leaving certificate is issued at the end of Grade 12, the final year of high school.

To change this, the minimum competencies required to obtain the new mid-level high school certificate must be made explicit. The subjects that will be chosen for assessment must be valued by society. Examples are English for business communication and mathematics for numeracy. These subjects should signal the readiness of learners to succeed in technical vocational and occupational programmes or the labour market.

With more public and private sector focus on these colleges they would be forced to respond to job market needs better than they do now. The Grade 9 certificate would contribute to improving the colleges’ responsiveness to market demands.

Pathways? ILLUSION is created to give Joe Public the idea that everything is in order to accommodate mid high school certificate leavers. Infact those kids who will be leaving are messed up. They have not acquired any skill neither are they able to read 99% of the time.

For sure! It is dumbing our people down in line with the thinking, 'keep them stupid and you can control them.' The best thing a person can do is get a hugh level education. Then you can go anywhere in the world to work and give your children a better future.
