High School Learners’
GUIDE TO
LIFE PREPARATION

A world-class programme, proven to help high school learners make informed decisions about their future, prepare for further study and career, and ultimately a fulfilled life.

PURPOSE • PATH • PREPARATION

A LEARNER’S LIFE JOURNEY

Let us at EDUvelopment be your mountain guide.

 

The journey entails three steps: Purpose, Path and Preparation.

Life’s journey is much like climbing a mountain. The climber needs to have a clear vision of the summit they want to reach, the route to take as well as the equipment and skills needed. So, in life, one requires a clear sense of purpose, careful planning, and the skills to overcome obstacles along the way.

 

CAREER & INTEREST ASSESSMENT

By providing career and interest assessments to your learners, you can shed light on their unique qualities and characteristics. This enables learners to make informed decisions regarding their choice of subjects, studies, careers, and ultimately their future.

EDU Term Packages: PACE Career Guidance Questionnaire and our proprietary CCQ (Career Consideration Questionnaire) is included in all EDU Term Packages
EDU Annual Packages: An array of assessments are included.

WHAT LEADING EDUCATORS SAY

Don’t only take our word for it.

Here’s what other educators think of EDUvelopment and how it has proven to be the support that every learner needs to succeed.

“I have, on a daily basis, encountered students who aren’t life-ready and who would have benefited from such a course. I highly recommend EDUvelopment’s online platform to help your child take on the future with the necessary confidence, knowledge, and life skills.Prof RJ Botha BSc (UP) D.Ed.(UNISA), SLC (IPLA, Indiana) Leading Educational Specialist with 40 years’ of experience Professor in Education Management and Comparative Education

“I find EDUvelopment particularly impressive in that it fills a gap that is quite a worry to most headmasters. EDUvelopment is a one-stop shop for finding out your child’s abilities, giving a full list of the possible institutions and universities, and offering great courses about how to survive in the big world out there. I definitely support the program and feel we can all do better by it. Mr Derek Swart Hoër Jongenskool Paarl Boys’ High School Head

“I think we take it for granted that a subject such as LO fills the gaps… in theory it aims to fill the gap. I think a company such as EDUvelopment understands in its curriculum all the aspects, such as EQ, analytical thinking, creative thinking, study methods, understanding your brain dominance and understanding the way that it impacts the way of preparing yourself… are truly the qualities and the content that we need to support our pupils. Mr Coenie Venter Hoërskool Durbanville Head
