Reading literacy: NWU closes gap between theory and practice
“Teaching reading is rocket science.” This quote by Louisa Moats underlines the importance of reading literacy, and that is why researchers and teacher educators from the North-West University’s (NWU’s) Faculty of Education are taking the lead to promote reading literacy in the foundation phase. They are of the opinion that the reality of…https://news.nwu.ac.za/move-adjusted-level-2-positive-economy-not-yet-out-woods
Move to Adjusted Level 2 is positive, but economy not yet out of the woods
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on moving South Africa to Adjusted Level 2 of the lockdown is positive for the economy, whose prospects still need further reinforcement and confidence building.

President Cyril Ramaphosa se aankondiging oor die verskuiwing van Suid-Afrika na aangepaste vlak 2 van die inperking is positief vir die ekonomie, waarvan die vooruitsig egter steeds verdere versterking en die bou van vertroue nodig het.

South Africa needs to build on widening the current economic recovery

Niemand – nie eers Janneman Malan self nie – sal onder enige illusie wees dat sy Bradmanese gemiddelde in die eendagwedstryde vir die Proteas sal voortduur nie. Gewone sterflinge kan nie sulke prestasies volhou nie (tensy jy natuurlik sir Don Bradman is – hoewel die Aussie-legende nooit witbalkrieket gespeel het nie).

Wetenskap is verskriklik verslawend. Dit gee vir ’n mens ’n kykie op wonders waaraan jy in jou wildste drome nie kon dink nie. Godfrey Mosotho weet dit beter as die meeste mense en hy hou nie hierdie geheim vir homself nie.
