3. Talents: the identification of natural skills and abilities
4. Interests: the identification of one’s greatest motivators and/or influencers

ACCESS TO EDUCATION:
The SASA, 1996 requires parents to ensure that their children attend school from the first school day of the year in which they turn 7, until the last school day of the year in which they turn 15, or the end of Grade 9, whichever comes first. In 2014, the Stats SA General Household Survey findings show that 99% of 7- to 15-year-old children were attending educational institutions.
In 2014, approximately 530 589 children aged 7 to 18 were not attending any education institution, of which the majority (4 in 5) were in the 16 to 18 age group; and 1 in 5 were disabled. While there has been improvement in access, there is a small gap (1,2%) that still needs to be bridged to ensure that all children have access to compulsory basic education. The greatest current challenge is to ensure that the approximately 15% of South African children who do not complete Grade 9 do so, and improving retention rates for learners, especially in the FET band (Grades 10 to 12).
Kutitiva’s approach is structured in way that learners who feel intimidated by the education system are coached to overcome this fear and thus guided to complete their learning career as stipulated above.
We are aware that access to education is as a result of many contributing factors such as infrastructure, social and economic limitations – but our focus is on the psychology of a learner willing to navigate through these challenges so that they can come out of the system educated and prepared for the real world.
