African National Congress (ANC) parliamentarians will, from Friday, begin advanced political education classes through the OR Tambo School of Leadership.
Termed “strategic courses” and focused on the Basic Economics module, it forms part of a pilot phasing of Tools of Analysis courses, which is currently underway in four provinces.
OR Tambo School Principal Dr David Masondo explained that Basic Economics will be six classes conducted on Fridays and Saturdays beginning October 23 until November 7.
Participants will learn, from a different perspective, how the modern economy works.
They will also learn basic economic concepts that can be applied to the development, transformation and growth of the South African economy.
“We are confident that the economics learning experience will deepen and enhance the ability of the ANC public representatives in their continuous contribution towards the development, growth and transformation of the economy to serve South Africans better,” said Masondo.
The Basic Economics module’s facilitators include Dr Rob Davies, Botlhale Seakeng, Isaah Mahlangu, Dr Kenneth Creamer, Dr Basani Baloyi, Professor Chris Malikane, Ayabonga Cawe and Dr Mark Wegerif.
There will also be a final assessment for participants, which they must pass.
