The uses and limits of Turkey’s “sport power” Jean-François Polo 1 For the first time in its fifteen years of brilliant yet unsuccessful candidacies to host the Olympic Games (OG) and the Football European Championships (Euro), Turkey was admitted into the elite group of countries capable of staging sports mega-events. Although it failed in the last round for the 2020 Olympic Games (beaten by Tokyo in 2013), and for the Euro 2016 (beaten by France in 2010), it has since been tipped as the strong favourite to host Euro 2024. International matches have been simultaneously utilized by the Turkish government as an opportunity to publicly demonstrate its willingness to resolve historically problematic issues with other countries, notably Armenia, Greece, and Syria.

L'appel du CONAPES a été largement suivi à Bujumbura qui regroupe beaucoup d'écoles secondaires d'enseignement public. Ce mouvement intervient au moment où l'on commençait la passation des examens de fin d'année. Des directeurs ont dû trouver des astuces pour gérer ce nouveau mouvement de grève. Certains d'entre eux ont surveillé eux-mêmes les examens et se sont faits épauler par les secrétaires, les chargés de discipline, les bibliothécaires et les enseignants non syndiqués au CONAPES.

These included: The value of seeing things from a different perspective. Differentiating between when to zoom in and when to zoom out. Learning to live in the moment. The value of making connections and sharing with others. The importance of self-care and personal well-being. To role model that it is ok to fail and to learn from our mistakes. To just do it - don't second guess yourself - take the picture. Little did I know at the time how relevant this conversation would be for the journey the school would walk in 2020. This has been a year of immense challenge for our school, from managing the impact of a pandemic and continuing to deliver an education of significance and excellence to addressing the call to take action in response to the allegations of racism, xenophobia and homophobia levelled against our school.

  • Minister Motshekga Launches History Ministerial Task Team Report
    Minister Motshekga launches History Ministerial Task Team Report The Ministerial Task Team Report into the introduction of History as a compulsory subject has recommended that History should be phased in incrementally in Grade 10 during 2023 and in Grade 12 during 2025. The launch was held at Freedom Park in Pretoria on 31 May 2018, under the theme: “Re-writing History from an African perspective”. Led by its chairperson, Professor Sifiso Ndlovu, the Task Team was established in 2015, and was provided with terms of reference to conduct a comparative international study to advise the Department on the possible introduction of History as a compulsory subject in Further Education and Training (FET) bands. This involved a comparative case study on compulsory History in 13 countries. The exercise is similar to an Africa-wide project being conducted by the African Union (AU) and UNESCO on History curricula across the continent and the relevance of the subject. Various possibilities were presented by the Task Team, including that if History and Life Orientation (LO) are combined, History content should be transferred to LO to reinforce the teaching of citizenship and human rights, amongst others. However, the recommendation from the Task Team was to introduce History as a compulsory subject in the FET phase, by removing Life Orientation from the FET phase and replacing it with compulsory History. It further recommended that the Curriculum and Policy Statement (CAPS), due to its serious limitations, be completely overhauled. Minister Motshekga said that, “The launch of the Report comes at the tail end of the celebrations of Africa Month.
