Training this cohort of General Education and Training (GET) and Further Education and Training (FET) Band Subject Advisors is meant to ensure that the department mantains the 2017 results increase even this year.
“This year, we are going to do things differently, we have less time and cant wait any longer to execute our improvement plans. These subject advisors should know from the onset that we mean business, and for those idling and loafing, consequence management is eminent”, said Makupula.
The departmental leadership led by the Head of Department (HoD), Themba Kojana will also meet these newly appointees to outline this year’s plan and targets.
