a) i) A generic orientation manual was used for all workshop participants and no orientation manuals were specifically prepared for educators teaching in South African Sign Language (SASL) or
ii) Through the medium of Braille.
b) No audit was conducted of workshop participants having prior training in SASL or Braille because training that is linked to a medium of instruction either in (i) SASL or (ii) Braille is provided for as a separate process to the workshop on Technical Occupational subjects. However, as per the attendance register, three (3) teachers from schools for the Deaf attended the National Training Programme of 27 February to 3 March 2017 and these teachers had already received training in SASL.
c) It needs to be clarified that training for Braille and SASL processes, and training for the pilot of the Technical Occupational subjects, are two completely separate processes. Hence, there are no specific targets for (i) SASL and (ii) Braille, as reflected in the question.
