Our main focus for the first term has been to help students build a list of univer- sities they are keen on applying to. To assist them we have registered all our Senior students to register with Concourse global, which is a site that allows students create their profiles and generate a list of best fit universities they can apply to anywhere in the world. Over the holidays, our A Level students hoping to apply to the USA are encouraged to prepare for SAT Tests. They are also encouraged to register with Education USA during the April Holiday. It may also be useful to take your child for psychometric test- ing to help them discover which career path they may want to peruse. Students hoping to apply to South Africa should start work- ing on their applications during the Easter Holiday. Our focus for Second term will be mostly on assisting Upper 6 students with their applications and we strongly encourage that parents and guardians support their students with this application process. Our Careers Team is available to discuss options available for your child and you are advised to schedule a meeting with the school counsellors to map the best way forward for your child. CAREER FAIR 2019 Gateway High School will be having a Careers Fair on the 20 June from 9.30am to 1.00pm. Our focus is to help students identify available local and international career options as well as assist students who have no interest in going to university in finding suita- ble careers. We will have exhibitors from various organisations, showcasing trade training opportunities in the different sectors. Our Career Fair has grown to be one of the largest school organised Fairs in the country, with over 80 exhibitors and hundreds of students attending. Our theme for this year is “Welcome to Zimbabwe “and we are hoping to promote local career opportunities for students. I am also pleased to inform you that we are having a series of workshops prior to the fair (17-19 June) the aim of the workshops is to give parents and students information on career opportunities. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to attend our workshops and the career fair. We would also like to invite Gateway parents and guardians to showcase any of their businesses which can be of interest to chil- dren in terms of career choice. The Fair is also an excellent platform for marketing your products.. Ten tables will be availed to parents and guardians free of charge. Please get in touch with us as soon as possible in order to book a table. Please contact the careers team for bookings: [email protected].

  • An Investigation Into the Effectiveness Of
    An investigation into the effectiveness of corporate sustainability programmes and initiatives in the agricultural sector: The case of British American Tobacco Zimbabwe by Stanley Nyanyirai Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Sustainable Development Planning & Management in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Alan Brent March 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration by the Student By submitting this work electronically or physically, I hereby do declare that the totality of the work herein is my own, being original, and I am the sole researcher (except to the extent indicated). In consultation with BAT Zimbabwe the reproduction and publication in electronic, physical and any other form by the University of Stellenbosch will not infringe any third party rights. I have not previously, in its entirety or in part, submitted this work for obtaining any other academic or professional qualification elsewhere. Copyright(c) 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved - 1 - Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid towards the notion of corporate sustainability, which has variously been defined as meaning the incorporation of social, environmental, economic, and cultural concerns into corporate strategy and bottom line. The preliminary investigation suggests that Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) are mainly worried about securing permission for commencing operations and not about the wellbeing of locals and their livelihoods. Further to this, one of the main reasons why efforts aimed at improving sustainability are not yielding significant and lasting results, is that solution seekers in business, science, government and the research community are still operating in the same old paradigm of using basically the same tools and adopting the same world view that threaten sustainability in the first.

  • Inclusion of Traditional Medicine in the School Curriculum in Zimbabwe: a Case Study
    Eurasian Journal of Anthropology Eurasian J. Anthropol. 2(2):54−69, 2011 Inclusion of traditional medicine in the school curriculum in Zimbabwe: a case study Takawira C. Kazembe and Makusha Musekiwa Department of Science and Mathematics Education, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe Received January 15, 2011 Accepted August 12, 2011 Abstract This study was carried out in Marondera District, Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate the state of traditional medicine in the area and document views of people on whether traditional medicine could be taught at schools. Data was collected from traditional healers, medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, A-level chemistry students, their teachers, their headmasters & heads of science departments, parents, chiefs, religious leaders, and other influential people in the district. Instruments included questionnaires, interviews, documents and observations. The state of traditional medicine was comparable to that of any other area in the country. Participants agreed to inclusion of traditional medicine in the school curricula but differed on the modalities of teaching the subject. Most traditional healers preferred to have traditional medicine taught as a separate subject whilst most members of each of the other groups of participants thought the subject would most profitably taught as part of existing science subjects. Traditional healers felt that inclusion in existing subjects would pollute their values. The other groups thought the subject would enrich science subjects for example chemistry and the mainstream medical knowledge. Keywords: Chemistry, herbal medicines, primary health care, purposive sampling, school curriculum, traditional healers Introduction Records produced by traditional medical practitioners reveal that there is an increase in the numbers of people who seek traditional medicines and confirm the evolving commercial aspects of traditional medicine.
