NSSCO Hospitality syllabus Grades 10-11, NIED 2019

1. INTRODUCTION The Namibian Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary (NSSCO) Level is designed as a two year course for examination after completion of the Junior Secondary phase. The syllabus is designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum for Basic Education (NCBE) and has been approved by the National Examination, Assessment and Certification Board (NEACB).

The National Curriculum Guidelines, applicable at the stage of Senior Secondary Education (Grades 10-12) and at equivalent stages of non-formal education, as a part of life-long learning, recognise the uniqueness of the learner and adhere to the philosophy of learner-centred education. The Namibia National Curriculum Guidelines aim to:

recognise that learning involves developing values and attitudes as well as knowledge and skills

promotes self-awareness and an understanding of the attitudes, values and beliefs of others in a multilingual and a multicultural society

encourage respect for human rights and freedom of speech

provide insight and understanding of crucial “global” issues in a rapidly changing world which affect quality of life: the AIDS pandemic, global warming, environmental degradation, maldistribution of wealth, expanding and increasing conflicts, the technological explosion and increased connectivity

recognise that as information in its various forms becomes more accessible, learners need to develop higher cognitive skills of analysis, interpretation and evaluation to use information effectively

seek to challenge and to motivate learners to reach their full potential and to contribute positively to the environment, economy and society

Thus the Namibia National Curriculum Guidelines provide opportunities for developing essential, key skills across the various fields of study. Such skills cannot be developed in isolation and they may differ from context to context according to the field of study. Hospitality contributes directly to the development of the 8 skills marked *:

communication skills *

information skills *

numeracy skills *

self-management and competitive skills *

problem solving skills *

social and co-operative skills *

physical skills

work and study skills *

critical and creative thinking skills * 2. RATIONALE This syllabus is within the Home Science area of learning in the curriculum. In Namibia the hospitality industry plays a vital role in the economy and therefore the subject will equip learners to take a meaningful place in this fast growing industry. The particular features of Hospitality at this phase include tourism, communication, professionalism, health and safety, food safety, security and confidentiality, customer

services, components of hospitality and their relationships, principles of food preparation, menus and service styles as well as table settings and cleaning The capacity to draw from such disciplinary diversity is the strength of the profession, allowing for the development of specific interpretations of the field, as relevant to the context. The Hospitality syllabus is designed to build on knowledge and skills acquired in the Junior Secondary phase. 3. AIMS The Hospitality syllabus aims to provide learners with:

the opportunity to develop as independent learners responsible for their own development

a realisation of how their professionalism impacts on the quality and consistency of the customer and their colleagues experience

the ability to recognise and celebrate the word diversity in cultures and uses it to positively meet customer needs

confidence when engaging with people to maintain interpersonal relationships

passion for the hospitality industry and the impacts it has on customers, employees and Namibia.

The syllabus develops a clear understanding of the relationship between the theory and practice of working in the hospitality industry. 4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 4.1 Guided learning hours The NSSCO level syllabuses are designed on the assumption that learners have about 130 guided learning hours per subject over the duration of two years, but this is for guidance only. The number of hours required to gain the qualification may vary according to local conditions and the learners’ prior experience of the subject. The National Curriculum for Basic Education (NCBE) indicates that this subject will be taught for 8 periods of 40 minutes each per 7-day cycle, or 6 periods of 40 minutes each per 5-day cycle, over two years. 4.2 Prior learning It is recommended that learners who are beginning this course should have previously studied Hospitality in Grades 8-9. 4.3 Progression NSSCO levels are general qualifications that enable learners to progress either directly to employment, or to proceed to further qualifications. Typically employment will be in the hospitality industry in establishments like hotels, lodges, guest farms, guest houses and other accommodation institutions. Further qualifications can be obtained at Vocational Training Centres (VTCs), Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and/or other institutions of higher learning that offer hospitality training.

Explanatory note to teachers The notes provided in the annexes at the back of the syllabus are intended to provide teachers with information to help them carry out valid and reliable assessment of the skills and abilities of their learners. It must be stressed that this NSSCO Hospitality syllabus is designed for Namibian learners and as such the learning content should be taught in the Namibian context, thus explanations and examples must be responsive to Namibia. Practical exercises on food and beverage should be given to learners throughout the course to give them an opportunity to develop practical skills which can be applied in the practical examination. Similarly, more practical activities than the assignments that contribute to the coursework mark should be done. 8.

9. MODERATION (a) Internal moderation When several teachers in a centre are involved in internal assessment, arrangements must be made within the centre for all learners to be assessed to a common standard. It is essential that within each centre the marks for each skill assigned within different teaching groups (e.g. different classes) are moderated internally for the whole centre entry. The centre assessments will then be subjected to external moderation. (b) External moderation Coursework assessment summary forms must be received by Regional Office / REXO during the first week of September along with samples of the coursework undertaken by the learners and the schemes of assessment for each assignment. The samples should cover the full ability range. If there are ten or fewer learners, all the coursework that contribute to the final mark for all learners must be sent to DNEA. Where there are more than ten learners, all the coursework that contribute to the final mark for ten of them will be required. The centre should select learners covering the whole mark range, with the marks spaced as evenly as possible, from the top mark to the lowest mark. If appropriate, the samples should be selected from the classes of different teachers. A further sample of coursework may subsequently be required. All records and supporting work should be retained until after the publication of the results. The Directorate of National Examination and Assessment (DNEA) will issue instructions to centres in Namibia concerning external moderation arrangements. 10. GRADE DESCRIPTIONS
