DBE Programmes

ABC Motsepe Schools Eisteddfod

The South African Schools Choral Eisteddfod was introduced in terms of the protocol for the organisation, management, coordination and monitoring of school music competitions and/or festivals for schools in South Africa published by the Minister of Education in Government Notice No. 21697 of 27 October 2000 and amended on 08 February 2010.

Now in its 19th year, the Eisteddfod remains one of the most crucial school enrichment programmes coordinated by the Department of Basic Education to promote unity in diversity, national reconciliation, positive values, a new South African national identity, social transformation and social cohesion among school-going South African youth.

This year’s national competition, whose theme is Celebrating 25 years of our democracy”, will take place as follows:

Date: Tuesday, 25 June-  Friday, 28 June 2019
Venue: Rhema Bible Church in Randburg, Johannesburg.

ASIDI

The objective of ASIDI is to eradicate the Basic Safety Norms backlog in schools without water, sanitation and electricity and to replace those schools constructed from inappropriate material (mud, plankie, asbestos) to contribute towards levels of optimum learning and teaching. The Schools Infrastructure Backlog Grant (SIBG) funds the ASIDI portfolio.

The impact of ASIDI is far reaching. Firstly, it is providing infrastructure that exceeds the minimum norms and standards for educational facilities in South Africa. This, in rural and other economically depressed areas, is a significant development for communities who constantly refer to ASIDI schools as ‘universities’. Secondly, much more than brick and mortar, ASIDI schools are helping to restore dignity and pride for people who had gone far too long deprived of facilities that are taken for granted elsewhere.
