! Distribution of career guidance across the Free State ! Why career guidance? ! Many people make career choices that are ill-informed ! They find the course they are studying not interesting and drop out (waste a lot of training money) ! This increase the university drop-out students
! However, BEC initiate guidance early in grade 9 ! Ensure that learners choose subjects that compliments their career choice in grade 10 ! Create a portfolio for grade 9 learners for all academic transcripts and career choice
! BEC initiated guidance as a results of scarcity of information in township public schools ! During the guidance, BEC dwell on the following: !
Importance of education (Motivational talk)
!
Lecture learners on various careers available at universities
!
Briefly outline each course and what it entails, requirements, subjects combination, opportunities, so forth
!
Give guidelines on how to finance studies using NSFAS loans, Edu-loan, and other Bursaries
!
Assist learners to fill in application and financial forms and to include all necessary documents (ID, Results, and parents documents)
! Children education should involve teachers, parents, community role players ! Parents play a significant role in the development of children ! Most parents in township are ignorant about importance of education ! BEC enhance the bond between parents and learners in the context of formal education ! How should parents contribute to formal education system? ! Parents should take an interest in all education aspects including: !
