Liyanyuka ithemba kwiSikolo saseDunoon Inkwenkwezi nanjengoko iWCED inikezela ngesiqabu ekudala silindelwe ngabafundi nootitshala.

Emva kokuhlala ixesha elide sineeklasi ezixineneyo, iSikolo samabanga aphakamileyo i-Inkwenkwezi eDunoon sibhiyozele ukunikezelwa kwamagumbi okufundela amatsha ali-14 kwiSebe leMfundo leNtshona Koloni ngomhla wesi-3 kuJulayi.
Ukugqitywa kwamagumbi okufundela kuphawula uvuthondaba lweprojekthi yeSebe leMfundo leNtshona Koloni (WCED) yokwandisa amandla esi sikolo ukuze sikwazi ukumelana nokwanda kwamanani abafundi.
Iqale yagqitywa ngoMatshi ka-2023, le projekthi yajongana nezithintelo ngenxa yeengxabano zemali phakathi kweekontraka, okukhokelele ekulibazisekeni kwenkqubela phambili yolwakhiwo. (Jonga ingxelo kuhlelo lwaphakathi enyangeni lwe-Iliso Labantu olupapashwe ngomhla we-14 kuCanzibe, ngowama-2024).
UKerry Mauchline, isithethi soMphathiswa wezeMfundo eNtshona Koloni uDavid Maynier, uyivumile imiceli-mngeni ekujongwene nayo ngexesha lesigaba sokwakha kodwa wavakalisa ithemba malunga nesiphumo esihle esifunyenweyo ngoku.
Inqununu yesikolo uNokuzola Tyobile uthe amagumbi okufundela ongeziweyo aza kuba nefuthe elihle ngoko nangoko kwimeko yokufunda.
“La magumbi okufundela matsha aza kunciphisa ingxinano, ngakumbi kumabanga 8 no-9 apho iiklasi beziphuphuma ukuya kutsho ku-55″, utshilo uTyobile.
Uthe ukuncitshiswa kweeklasi kuya kukhuthaza umoya olungele ukufundisa nokufunda.
Ngabafundi abambalwa ngeklasi nganye, ootitshala ngoku banokunika ingqwalaselo eyenzelwe umntu, nto leyo esikholelwa ukuba iya kukhokelela kuphuculo lokufunda, utshilo.
Uthe amagumbi okufundela amatsha awapheleli nje ekujongeni iimfuno zeziseko zophuhliso ezikhawulezileyo kodwa kulindeleke ukuba abe negalelo kwinguqu kwindlela yokuziphatha kwabafundi nakwiziphumo zemfundo.
“Ukufundisa okusebenzayo kunye nolawulo lokuziphatha kulula ngeesayizi zeklasi ezincinci. Kusisiqabu. Babenemincili ngokwenene, watsho uTyobile,”
Ukwathe angathanda ukuba uluntu luzihoye iziseko zophuhliso lwamagumbi okufundisela, evakalisa usizi lokuba wonakaliswe kanye phambi kokuba kugqitywe.
“Sicela uluntu ukuba luncedise ekukhuseleni esi sikolo. Yipropati yoluntu.”
Uthe kusekuninzi ekufuneka kwenziwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba iiklasi zikhuselekile, njengoko isikolo sikufuphi namatyotyombe.
“Kufuneka sibe ne-alam, i-intercom, ukubakhusela kweli cala bakufuphi namatyotyombe. Sifuna ukhuseleko olongezelelekileyo, ii-alam ezininzi, yonke into enokusinceda ukuba sizikhusele,” utshilo.
Isithethi seSebe iWCED uMillicent Merton uqinisekisile ukuba iiklasi eziyi-14 zigqityiwe zaza zanikezelwa ngokusesikweni nge-3 kaJulayi 2024.
UMerton uthe kukho imikhwa ekusafuneka ihoywe ngunokontraka, kodwa isikolo sinokusebenzisa amagumbi okufundela.
“Amagumbi okufundela anikezelwe ukuba kuhlale kuwo. Kukho imisebenzi yangaphandle ejikeleze emva kweeklasi ekufuneka igqitywe. Oku akuyi kuphazamisa ukusetyenziswa kwamagumbi okufundela amatsha,” utshilo uMerton.
