Lesson Planning: A Teacher’s Core Responsibility

While acknowledging the challenges teachers face in lesson planning, the directorate reiterated that reliance on pre-prepared learner plans compromises instructional effectiveness and detracts from the quality of education.

“The preparation of learner plans is a core responsibility of every teacher, allowing them to tailor their instructional approaches to the specific needs and abilities of their learners. Reliance on pre-prepared plans compromises this process and detracts from the quality of education we strive to uphold in our district,” the letter stated.

Immediate Compliance and Monitoring

The directive mandates all teachers to cease using externally prepared lesson plans with immediate effect. Additionally, headteachers have been instructed to enforce strict compliance, ensuring that lesson plans are personally prepared and reviewed weekly.

Furthermore, the letter warned individuals or groups supplying such learner plans to stop immediately. Teachers found guilty of violating this directive will face disciplinary action.
