2014 Provincial School Discipline Summit

1. The issue of ill-discipline in schools has a direct impact on the performance and achievement of learners. A shared understanding is required of what discipline means and what alternatives can be put in place to promote discipline at our schools. The Directorate: Institutional Management and Governance Planning (IMGP) will be hosting two summits during August 2014 in order to address school discipline.

2. All school principals, school governing body (SGB) chairpersons as well as either the repre-sentative council of learners (RCL) chairperson or secretary are invited to attend one of the two Summits at the venue indicated below.
